The Fast: DAY 15
Sunday, January 18
Galatians 6:9 (NIV)
“Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.”
Devotion
Human nature is wired to expect recognition. When we do something good, we often look for appreciation, praise, or approval. In today’s world, many good deeds are done in front of cameras, shared online, and celebrated publicly. When appreciation is missing or recognition never comes, it is easy to feel discouraged and slowly grow weary.
Paul understood this struggle. That is why he encouraged believers not to grow weary in doing good, even when results are delayed or unseen. God never designed our obedience to depend on human applause. He sees what people overlook, and He values faithfulness over visibility.
One of the greatest acts of good we can offer is sharing the love of Jesus. Helping someone encounter Christ is more valuable than any public recognition. When we pray, fast, evangelize, encourage, or serve quietly, we are rescuing souls from eternal separation from God. This work often goes unnoticed, but it carries eternal impact.
Scripture reminds us that God is fully aware of our efforts. In Revelation 2:2, the Lord says, “I know your deeds, your hard work, and your perseverance.” Nothing done for Him is forgotten. Revelation 22:12 also assures us, “Look, I am coming soon. My reward is with me, and I will give to each person according to what they have done.”
The reward may not always come immediately, but God’s timing is perfect. When we continue in obedience without giving up, the harvest will surely come.
Today's Prayer
Dear Heavenly Father,
Lord, help me not to grow weary in doing good, even when my efforts seem unnoticed. Strengthen my heart to serve You faithfully in every small act of love, prayer, and fasting. Remind me that You see all I do, and that my reward is secure in Your perfect timing. In the Name of Jesus I pray. Amen.
