“And let us not lose heart in doing good, for we will reap in proper season if we do not faint.”
Galatians 6:9
Lumin’s Faithful Translation
The setting
Paul wrote this letter to early Christian communities in Galatia facing pressure to abandon their faith practices. In the first-century Roman world, believers often faced social and economic costs for continuing acts of service and generosity toward others.
Reflection
How does the image of gathering a harvest at the right moment shape the way you view small acts of service in daily life?
A prayer
Lord, strengthen my hands for the good work you place before me. Help me trust that every act of service matters in your kingdom.
Carry it with you
Today identify one specific way to serve someone in need, such as helping a neighbor with a task or supporting a local ministry, and carry it out without expecting recognition.
