Daily Devotion in Galatians 6
- If someone has a weakness, and if you are a spiritual person, help him with his problem. That advice is contrary to what so many do when one is having difficulties (Galatians 6:1).
Too many talk about the dilemma of those that are hurting, ridicule them, blame them for their failures, and “kick them” when they are down instead of helping them up. Much of the time, those judging others do not know both sides of the story and are wrong in assessing the situation. - Take other's hardships to your own heart. Bear the burdens of others (Galatians 6:2) as if they were your very own. There will be a time you will have difficulties, and you will wish others would call out to the throne room of God on your behalf.
- No matter how successful you think you are, do not fool yourself into thinking you are better than you are (Galatians 6:3).
- Hardships and trials are difficult and exhausting, but you will feel better about yourself when you get through the test (Galatians 6:4-5). Too many try to keep others from learning that valuable lesson in life by making it easier for them and not allowing them to go through the valley that will teach them important lessons. Those people never experience the joy of getting victory over the difficulty. Often, facing a problem by yourself can cause a person to get closer and more reliant on God, which may be why God allowed one to go through the hardship.
- Never forget or be fooled; one always reaps what he sows! If one plants a crop of sin, he will reap the harvest of some rotten “fruit” (Galatians 6:7-8)!
- Do not quit doing right! You may feel that there is no reward in doing so, or that no one may ever give you credit for doing right, but God promises, in time, you will reap the blessings of a good “crop” (Galatians 6:9)!
- Be a blessing to others, especially other Christians (Galatians 6:10)!
Daily Nugget:
Paul’s concluding remarks to the Galatians in this chapter left them with some good advice. His godly wisdom is good for all to keep in mind and practice.
Paul’s counsel included:
Those seven bits of advice will make one’s life more rewarding. They will limit a lot of unnecessary, harmful consequences that many face. Paul’s wisdom, if followed, would result in fewer selfish people and more others-oriented, content, fulfilled Christians
Today’s Thought:
“Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.” I Corinthians 15:58
Today’s Reading:
Galatians 6
1 Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.
2 Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.
3 For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself.
4 But let every man prove his own work, and then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another.
5 For every man shall bear his own burden.
6 Let him that is taught in the word communicate unto him that teacheth in all good things.
7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.
9 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.
10 As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.
11 ¶ Ye see how large a letter I have written unto you with mine own hand.
12 As many as desire to make a fair shew in the flesh, they constrain you to be circumcised; only lest they should suffer persecution for the cross of Christ.
13 For neither they themselves who are circumcised keep the law; but desire to have you circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh.
14 But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.
15 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature.
16 And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.
17 From henceforth let no man trouble me: for I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus.18 Brethren, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.
