Good Rewards
Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it cometh. For the LORD shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken. (PROVERBS 3:25-26)
A teacher returned to her classroom to find chaos has broken out. Paper, pencils, and erasers were flying through the air, pictures were running all around the room, and children were running all around the room, and the noise was deafening. One little girl sat quietly in the back corner, refusing to enter into the mischief. As the teacher began to scold the class, she remember the little girl who was well-behaves. After class, she pulled the young child aside and told her how much it meant to her that she had remained silent and obedient.
Often we feel as though our good acts are missed. When we don’t receive credit and acclaim, we feel cheated. What we need to remember is that none of our actions go unnoticed by God. He sees our every move, and he applauds us when we refuse to do those things that we know we should not but that our society seems to approve of. Our reward will never come from this life but from the life that awaits us with our heavenly Father. His blessing is ever with us if we will only be patient and believe.
Father, often I feel as though my good behavior is ignored or forgotten. Forgive me for being prideful, and help me to know that You see me at both my best and worst and love me all the time. Amen.
