The Unseen Years
“And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.”Galatians 6:9 (KJV)
We love an overnight success story. Someone posts a video and suddenly millions are watching. What we don’t see is the years before it: hundreds of videos that a dozen people watched, done faithfully day after day with no one cheering.
Most good things grow that way. Years of unseen practice, then a moment people notice. The quiet years aren’t wasted. They are where the real work happens.
Paul knew how tiring the unseen years can be. “And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.” Notice the two conditions: in due season, and if we faint not. The harvest has its own timing, and it comes to those who keep going.
If you are in a season of small results, keep sowing. Your due season is coming.
Read it yourself
Read Galatians 6:7–10. What does Paul tell us to do as we have opportunity?
What faithful work are you doing right now that no one seems to notice?
Lord, keep me from growing weary. Help me keep sowing until the due season comes. Amen.
