This podcast explores the biblical antidote to weariness and defeat: "not get weary in well doing, for if we faint not, we shall reap in due season" (Galatians 6:9). Weariness is a feeling; fainting is a choice to resist. The surrounding verses establish: personal duty (v. 5); supporting spiritual teachers (v. 6); the universal law of consequence, where one reaps what one sows (v. 7); and the choice between sowing to the "flesh" (corruption) or the "Spirit" (everlasting life) (v. 8). Verse 9 assures that perseverance in good deeds will be rewarded in God's perfect timing. For sustained resilience in life and marriage, the focus must be on God. Isaiah 26:3 promises "perfect peace" (Shalom) to those whose minds are fixed on Him and His promises.
