“And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.” – Galatians 6:9 (NKJV)

Every successful entrepreneur and business leader understands this truth: perseverance is the key to achieving long-term success. No great business was built overnight, and no meaningful goal is accomplished without endurance. Galatians 6:9 reminds us that we will reap a harvest—if we don’t give up.

The business world is full of stories of perseverance. Thomas Edison failed over 1,000 times before successfully inventing the light bulb. Walt Disney was told he “lacked creativity” before creating one of the most influential entertainment empires. These stories echo the biblical principle that perseverance leads to reward.

As Christians in business, we will face setbacks, rejection, and moments of doubt. However, God calls us to keep going, even when progress seems slow. The enemy wants us to quit right before our breakthrough, but faith requires us to push forward, trusting in God’s perfect timing.

Jesus Himself demonstrated perseverance. He faced opposition, betrayal, and suffering, yet He never abandoned His mission. His endurance led to victory, and as His followers, we are called to run our race with the same determination.

If God has placed a vision in your heart, don’t give up when obstacles arise. Success often comes not to the most talented, but to those who refuse to quit. Keep working, keep trusting, and in due season, you will reap the harvest.
