Transcript
- Sean Graver: Hey, if you're showing up a little worn down today, well, this one's especially for you. My name is Sean, and I'd invite you to grab your coffee and let's spend a few minutes with God before we do anything else. Today's Bible verse is Galatians 6, 9, which reads, Let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap if we do not give up. I love that the writer, the apostle Paul, assumes we're going to get weary. He doesn't say if you get tired, he says, Let us not become weary like it's a real possibility we have to guard against. Because it is, isn't it? Hard, consistent work is exhausting and the harvest isn't always visible yet. So here's a question. Is there something at work right now that you've been faithfully grinding through and you're just not seeing results yet? Might be something you've poured into and it's taking longer than you expected. Well, this verse is for that. The harvest is coming. but it comes at the proper time. Not your timeline, not the one you drew up in Q1, but God's timeline. And that requires something genuinely hard. Trusting the process even when you can't see the progress. So don't give up today. Whatever that thing is, show up for it again. That consistency is not going to go unnoticed. So let's pray. God, some days the work is hard and the results are slow and I just get tired. I think you know that feeling and I think you understand it more than I give you credit for. But today I'm asking for the power of endurance. mean, help me not to give up on the things that are worth doing even when I can't see the harvest yet. Will you help me trust that faithful, consistent effort done for you? is never wasted. And remind me today that you are in the details. You see the work that no one else is clapping for and that the proper timing is coming. So just give me what I need to keep going. Amen. Well, I trust that you will make today count. I'll see you next time.
