"Let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season, we shall reap, if we do not lose heart." Gal. 6:9
Yes, you are right. You read the same Scripture yesterday as today, and the reason has to do with a memory of one of the dearest and most compassionate friends my wife and our family ever knew.
I thought of her immediately when recently I read an account of the baptism of a man who at age 15 heard the sermon of an evangelist who had chosen I Corinthians 16:22 as his text; If anyone does not love the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be accursed, O Lord come."
It took 85 years for the spoken word to bear fruit in this man's life, but it did as he was baptized at age 100.
Do not be dismayed if you feel that your witness for Christ does not result in an immediate response from the one with whom you have shared it.
It took 85 years for the fifteen year old to realize he needed to follow through on the message of the evangelist, but he did.
"Due season".
Only God knows how long that may be.
But He does!
