THE REWARD
Esther 6:2-3
"And it was found written that Mordecai had told of Bigthana and Teresh ... who had sought to lay hands on King Ahasuerus. Then the king said, 'What honor or dignity has been bestowed on Mordecai for this?' And the king's servants who attended him said, 'Nothing has been done for
him.' "
Good deeds do not always receive immediate recognition or reward. Veterans are still being honored with medals for acts of heroism done during WWII or the Korean Conflict – 50 or 60 years late. Some service is never honored during this life-time. There are those who labor diligently in God's kingdom-work without ever being praised or rewarded by others in this world. But it is certain that God never forgets, and at the Judgement Seat of Christ, Jesus will reveal all the acts of gold, silver and precious stone done by his servants, and they shall receive a reward (I Corinthians 3:13-14). "For God is not unjust to forget your work and labor of love which you have shown toward His name...." ( Hebrews 6:10). Some day, He will say, "Well done, good and faithful servant" (Matthew 25:21, 23).
Today's Thought: Recognition for good deeds is sometime delayed, but it will happen.
Have a faithful waiting day. Love you.
