Reward Of The Righteous
Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you. - Matthew 5: 12
As there is a reward for every factor of production so is there a reward for the righteous in the kingdom of God. A righteous person must know there is a reward for him. It brings him excitement. It does not make someone’s way to be dark.
Hope is not dashed when someone is rewarded for good things. Even he is happy before it happens. Many today are unhappy until they have testimonies to share with people. People are to be happy before the reward of their labor come because they are supposed to know that God is for them.
There is hope for the righteous. People need to sing for joy in any situation they find themselves. In all things give thanks to God. I won’t know the area of your struggle. I won’t know what the economy of the country is saying, but the scripture says ‘sing, o barren: How does someone sing when she is barren? It is based on what she believes. How does someone enlarge when he does not know or have anybody? How does he plan big?
Prayer: Father, I choose to rejoice in the Lord in the face of the dwindling economic situation Jesus’ name, Amen.
