Galatians – Chapter 6

  • And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up. Galatians 6:9- I find myself loving this verse and being very frustrated with it at the same time (I think that’s alright). See I love the hope that it brings that in time all this we’re going through now will be over and it will be all worth it when the blessing comes. That’s really what we should focus on, but I keep getting frustrated with the fact I have to wait till this season is over to taste that blessing. If your like me in this, take this idea to heart. God knows your frustration. He isn’t oblivious to the season you’re in right now. With everyday you stay in this season it’s shaping you to be ready for the next season. There is purpose in the length of this season right now. Maybe that purpose is to grow you, or maybe it’s actually for someone else. That’s all up to God, just know He sees you and His promises are worth enduring for. I love you, but Jesus loves you more – Mac – Daily DEVO 536
  • Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. Galatians 6:2 – Imagine you are walking into church one day and you see another person also walking into church, but they have their arms loaded with supplies they are carrying in. So many supplies in fact that they are struggling to balance it all as they walk. What would you most likely do? You would run over and seek to assist them in carrying in their supplies. This is the image here we ought to think of when relating this verse to our story. For we are all “carrying supplies” somehow in this life. One may have a calling to some ministry. Another may have a difficulty in their family life. Another may have a sin struggle that they have navigated for years. Those of us then who are seeking to follow after Jesus should seek how we can help carry their load. This may look like volunteering in that particular ministry to help them accomplish everything needed. This may look like holding someone accountable and checking in periodically on how they are doing with their sin struggle. It may be as simple as offering some time to sit and have coffee with someone to listen to all that’s on their heart. As believers in Jesus, we have a Savior who has stepped into our story and bore all our sin and is our ever present help in our times of need. Let’s seek to follow the example of our Savior by seeking out how we can offer a helping hand with the load others are carrying. I love you, but Jesus loves you more – Mac – Daily DEVO 2395
