![]() ![]() So if a seed has been sown, a harvest is guaranteed to happen - if we stay on course. The words “we shall reap” describe a future, fixed event. But no matter what season our seed is to be reaped in, God promises that if we are consistent - if we steadfastly keep sowing our seed into the ground and refuse to let weariness take us down - a time will come when “we shall reap.” ![]() One seed produces in one set season, and another seed is reaped in a different set season. Even if multiple seeds of various kinds are planted at one time, each has its own season to be reaped, depending on the seed. Notice that God says the manifestation comes in “due season.” This tells us that each seed has its own set season - a specific, individual time when the seed will produce its harvest. He promises that in “due season,” a harvest will be reaped if we won’t quit - the manifestation of what each of us is believing for will come if we will not cave in and give up. In this verse, God commands you and me not to surrender to any temptation to give up. Here it actually depicts a person who is tempted to throw in the towel and quit, thus surrendering to evil. In moments when weariness tries to get the best of me, I meditate on Galatians 6:9, which says, “And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.” The word “weary” in Galatians 6:9 is the Greek word egkakos - a compound of en, which means in, and kakos, which describes something evil. But those moments when you’re tired and tempted to quit are the exact times when you need to grab hold of the power of God and determine that you are not going to stray from your course until you’ve finished what God asked you to do! I’ve told you before, but today I sense a leading to tell you again - you must stay steady and on track with the assignment the Lord has given to you! Believe me, I know what it’s like to get tired of staying steady and holding the course. And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.
