Galatians 6:7-10
Excerpted from: How to Know We Love ChristBecause Christ said what He did, we can understand that it is not impossible to redirect our energies and feelings. If we tie Galatians 6:7-10 together with Colossians 3:1-4 and Revelation 2:1-7, we can see that Paul was essentially saying that the rewards are in the doing—in the works. "I know your works." Christ said. The solution is, "you need to re-direct your energies, go back to the devotion that you formally had. And, if that devotion is there, if that love is there, then the right works will come and you will overcome."
God's way is such that it begins producing the good soon, not late. And the apostle is saying that if we begin sowing the right seed, then we will begin to reap the fruit of the harvest that will come, because God's Word always produces. God says that His Word will not go forth and return empty.
This is His Word, and He is telling us what to do, and we can be assured that there will be production of the fruit if we sow the right things, if we turn our energies back to the way they should be.
Galatians 6:7-10
Excerpted from: It's Enough! Now, Lord, Take My Life!Please turn over to Galatians 6, verse 7. It takes God's love flowing through us to make a personal sacrifice of time, money, and energy without strings attached, without expecting anything in return. But when we serve with a generous attitude, God's Spirit gives us peace and satisfaction. If we plant goodness, we will harvest happiness and peace.
An excellent way to overcome feelings of self-pity is by being generous. It could be your time, your money, your effort, it could be any number of things. Whatever you have the ability to give to someone else. We should find ways to assist others when we become overly fixated on ourselves. Perhaps it involves visiting the sick or comforting someone who is upset. It could be writing a letter of encouragement, calling someone who is lonely, or helping a widow.
It is about bringing happiness to others. Giving is a natural unbreakable law that also brings joy to the giver. The key is to focus less on ourselves.
Galatians 6:9-10
Excerpted from: Simplifying Life (Part Four)If we exercise patience, we will ultimately witness the fruits of our efforts, learning that it is worth it to wait for blessings resulting from our commitment to doing good. In his commentary of Galatians 6:9-10, John Ritenbaugh explains that these verses address the human tendency to become discouraged when efforts in faith do not yield immediate results. The Galatians were drifting, feeling neglected due to unmet expectations of Christ’s return and ongoing hardships.
