Ancient Words For Today - Galatians 6:9

The context of this verse concerns sowing and reaping – the thoughts, aspirations, communications and activities of our life.
We can sow to our flesh or to the Spirit. Sowing to the Spirit – doing the things the God would have us to do - results in eternal rewards.
Sowing to our flesh, to satisfy our sensual, worldly, or even ungodly desires, leads to corruption. Here is the entire verse:
For he that sows to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that sows to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.
And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. Galatians 6:8-9

We are encouraged to continue sowing to the Spirit and not to become weary or faint in well doing. When we feel weary we should turn to God.
As we wait upon Him, our strength to continue our work for the Lord will be renewed. Also remember His assurances that those things we do
for Him are not in vain - we will accomplish the Lord’s will in this world, in due season, and reap eternal life in the Lord’s Kingdom to come.

He gives power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increases strength. Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the
young men shall utterly fall: But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles;
they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. Isaiah 40:29-31
Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord,
forasmuch as ye know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord. 1 Corinthians 15:58
