A Short Devotion on Perseverance for Your Next Meeting

📖 Galatians 6:9

“And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.”

💭 Reflection

Every long project has a season where the work feels invisible, no visible progress, no finish line in sight. Paul's promise isn't that the harvest comes immediately, it's that it comes in due season, on its own timeline, to those who keep going. If this project or team feels stuck right now, that's not evidence it's failing. The phrase "if we faint not" is the honest part of the promise, it acknowledges that quitting is a real temptation in the invisible middle, not a hypothetical one, and names exactly where the effort actually has to happen.

✅ In Practice

Identify the one part of this project that feels most stalled right now, and commit to one small, concrete next step before the meeting ends, not a bigger plan, just one step. Momentum in the invisible middle usually comes from small, repeated motion, not a single breakthrough.

🗣 Discuss

Where have we been tempted to quit on something too early, before its season arrived?

🙏 Pray

Lord, when this work feels slow or unrewarded, help us keep at it anyway. Give us the strength to not grow weary before the harvest comes, and remind us that the season we're in now isn't the season we'll always be in. Amen.
