Galatians 6:9 (KJV) - And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.

James 5:7-11 (NASB1995). “Therefore be patient, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. The farmer waits for the precious produce of the soil, being patient about it, until it gets the early and late rains. You too be patient; strengthen your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is near. Do not complain, brethren, against one another, so that you yourselves may not be judged; behold, the Judge is standing right at the door. As an example, brethren, of suffering and patience, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord. We count those blessed who endured. You have heard of the endurance of Job and have seen the outcome of the Lord's dealings, that the Lord is full of compassion and is merciful.”

Galatians 5:22 (NASB1995) “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,”

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.”

“In Due Time” By In Touch Ministries:

“When God asks us to wait, we can be certain that He intends for a blessing to follow.”

“No one likes waiting, but doing so is often the wisest course of action for everyday choices as well as for larger, more consequential ones. Developing a patient spirit is also essential when it comes to living the Christian life (Galatians 5:22).

Thankfully, we have countless examples both in Scripture and throughout church history that can help us cultivate a spirit of endurance in our own life. In today’s passage, the apostle James encourages believers with an agricultural metaphor many of them would have understood well—the early and late rains. In the Middle East, water is scarce, so farmers must plan their work accordingly. Some plant in October and November, after the early rains have softened the ground. Then they harvest in April and May, after the later rains have brought crops to peak quality. In between, the only thing farmers can do is wait, trusting the crops will flourish. Sometimes the same thing is true of our life.

Urging that we stay strong, James reminds us about the prophets and Job—they all endured hardships and experienced God’s deliverance in the end. Their example is worth following because, as Scripture promises, “In due time we will reap, if we do not become weary” (Galatians 6:9).”

And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.

Lesson 040: Dealing with Disappointment

Genesis 40:23 - Yet the chief butler did not remember Joseph, but forgot him.

Joseph had dealt with so many trials and troubles in his young life.  He was abandoned by his brothers and sold into slavery.  He tried to make the best of his situation and live honorably for God.  Yet he was falsely accused of a crime and thrown into prison.

Despite all this, Joseph was still faithful to God and believed he would be delivered.  Joseph must have been excited to hear the chief butler was restored to his former position.  

Let’s read together Genesis 40:1-13.

The chief butler did not put in a good word to Pharaoh for Joseph.  The chief butler actually forgot about Joseph for two years.  

Joseph must have been very discouraged during that time.  Perhaps he thought God was going to deliver him using the chief butler, but nothing happened for two years.

Let’s read together Proverbs 3:5; Psalm 42:11; and Colossians 3:23-24.

Despite this setback, Joseph still believed in God.  Joseph knew God did not forsake him.  God blessed Joseph when he was in Potiphar’s household.  God even blessed Joseph in prison.

Let’s read together Psalm 27:14 and Galatians 6:9.

Just like Joseph, we need to learn how to wait on the Lord.

Miracles Still Happen

And, the wait is worth it. Over the multi-years of my life, I have faced insurmountable times of worry, defeat, dealt with problems that couldn’t be solved, health issues that seemed hopeless, and many things that I couldn’t understand. A miracle was needed and sometimes it felt like it was too little, too late, and throwing in the towel was my only recourse. Maybe that’s you today. You…
