9/21/2010 - Galatians 6:7,9 Where's My Reward??

Posted in Unspecified

SCRIPTURE: Galatians 6: 7,9 Don’t be misled—you cannot mock the justice of God. You will always harvest what you plant. . . . 9 So let’s not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don’t give up.

OBSERVATION: Certainly it is true: you will reap what you sow. However, here it is telling us that the justice of God not only requires that those who do evil are punished but that those who do good are rewarded. It is wonderful to know that the power of God's justice is on the side of my reward when I am doing His will. The only caveat that this section suggests is that we have to "keep on keeping on". Reward will come. Not always in what we consider the "right time" (which is always RIGHT NOW as far as we are concerned) but in what He considers the "right time". Receiving the blessing is dependent on not giving up.

APPLICATION: I want to give up!! Where is my reward? I need to have the faith to believe that God's justice requires Him to reward everyone (myself included) that obeys Him and stays faithful. I'm looking for it and expecting it!

PRAYER: Help me to remain faithful to You. May I see my reward soon! Thank You that You are so much more faithful to me than I am to You.
