Let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.
- Galatians 6:9
Do good.
So much advice in the world and it can be distilled down to that.
Just be a good person.
You know what that is.
You know it deep inside.
When was the last time you regretted helping someone in need.
Have you regretted reaching out to that friend in need? Never have, never will.
Let your goodness flow... the world needs it, you need it.
Be the Light and the Light will flow. It’s in there burning...
Today: Whenever you are able, do good to people who need help. (Proverbs 3:27 NCV)
Bless You,

Sometimes doing the right thing can feel exhausting, especially when we don’t see the results we hoped for. But God invites us to keep showing up, keep loving, and keep trusting Him with what we cannot yet see. Take a few quiet moments to reflect on where you feel weary and ask God to renew your strength as you continue planting seeds of faith.
Journal & Reflect
- Where am I feeling weary? What good work, relationship, or responsibility has begun to feel difficult to continue?
- What seeds am I planting? How am I showing love, practicing kindness, serving others, or growing in faith—even in small ways?
- Am I trusting God's timing? Where am I struggling because I cannot yet see the results I hoped for?
- What would faithfulness look like today? What is one small, good thing I can keep doing without needing immediate results?
Frequently Asked Questions
What does Galatians 6:9 mean?
Galatians 6:9 encourages us not to grow discouraged or give up doing good. Even when the results aren’t immediately visible, we can continue to live faithfully and trust God with the timing and outcome.
What does it mean to grow weary in doing good?
It means feeling tired, discouraged, or tempted to stop doing what is right because our efforts seem unnoticed or unfruitful. God understands our weariness and invites us to find renewed strength in Him.
What does “we will reap in due season” mean?
It points to a harvest that comes at the right time. Like seeds growing beneath the soil, the fruit of faithful choices may take time to become visible. We can trust God without demanding an immediate result or assuming we know exactly how the outcome will look.
How can I keep doing good when I feel discouraged?
Start small. Pray for strength, return to the next faithful step, and remember why your actions matter. Seek encouragement from trusted people, and allow yourself rest when you need it. Perseverance doesn’t mean ignoring your limits.
How can I trust God while I’m waiting?
Bring your hopes and disappointments honestly to God. Focus on what you can do faithfully today, rather than trying to control tomorrow. Use Scripture and prayer to remind yourself that a season of waiting does not make your efforts meaningless.
Prayer
Heavenly Father,
When I feel weary or wonder whether my efforts matter, remind me that You see every seed I plant. Renew my strength, soften my heart, and help me keep choosing faith, kindness, and love.
Teach me to release my need to see immediate results and trust Your timing. Help me be faithful in this season, knowing that You are at work even when I cannot see it.
In Jesus' name,
Amen.
Message from Kara
If you’ve been working hard, loving others, or praying for something that still hasn’t come to pass, I hope today’s verse reminds you that your faithfulness matters.
Not every seed grows overnight. Sometimes God is working in ways we can’t see yet, and we’re simply called to keep trusting Him and taking the next small step.
Don’t underestimate the good you’re doing today. Keep planting, keep believing, and give yourself grace along the way. You don’t have to see the whole harvest to trust the One who brings it.
With Love,
Kara
