REWARDS

 

 

There are

Many kinds of rewards

In this life

 

There are athletic rewards-

Business rewards-civic rewards-entertainment rewards

And every kind of reward

That you might be able to think of

In this life

 

But the rewards

That are the longest lasting

ARE the REWARDS FROM GOD

And they are often internal rewards

Where no one else

Thinks of-or hears of

They carry NO MATERIALISTIC VALUE

 

“One thing God has spoken

Two thing have I heard

That you-Oh God-are strong

And that you-Oh Lord-are loving

 

Surely you will reward each person

According to what he has done”                                                         Psalm 62:11 & 12

 

Along those lines

I heard the GREATEST story

In South Florida

The other day

 

A young woman

A part-time care taker on a golf course

Found a bag of money-$36,000 in cash in it

More than she makes

In an entire year

 

She could easily

Have kept the money

No one

Would have been the wiser

 

But she turned the money in

And received no reward

 

When asked about it-she said.

“I read the Bible every day

I am a Christian

I RECEIVE my rewards

FROM A HIGHER POWER”

 

 

A young woman

After my very own heart

 

You have made us for yourselves

Oh Lord

And OUR HEARTS will be

FOREVER RESTLESS

UNTIL THEY REST IN YOU

 

Our TRUE rewards

COME FROM GOD

 

“Since-then-

You have been raised in Christ

Set your hearts

On things above

WHERE Christ is seated

At the right hand of God

 

Set your minds

On things above

NOT on earthly things”                                                                    Colossians 3:1 & 2

 

OUR TRUEST REWARDS

COME FROM GOD ABOVE

 

“I the Lord

Search the heart

And examine the mind

To REWARD a man

According to his conduct

According to what his deeds deserve”                                                 Jeremiah 17:10

 

And so Lord

We pray

That we have

That SAME heart and faith

AS THIS YOUNG WOMAN

 

And we-like her

WILL hear the GREATEST WORDS

EVER SPOKEN

When we come to the end of our life

 

“WELL DONE GOOD AND FAITHFUL SERVANT”                         Matthew 25:21

 

A TRUE AND EVERLASTING REWARD
