“Reward For All”
Saturday, June 15, 2024Key Verse
““Say ye to the righteous, that it shall be well with him: for they shall eat the fruit of their doings. Woe unto the wicked! it shall be ill with him: for the reward of his hands shall be given him.” Isaiah 3:10,11
Text — Isaiah 3:10-14
Message
The prize giving day is always a special day in every school. It is a day that makes a difference between the hard working and lazy children. The award-winning children are always happy and are the pride of their families and friends. Shame and regret are the rewards for the lazy and playful children, so, there is reward for all. Similarly, two groups of people are mentioned in our Bible passage. God was watching everyone making a record of everybody’s activities. He was happy with a few and very sad about the conduct of many others.
The prophet went to the people with a message from God. Nobody was left out, everyone was to reap what he or she sows. The righteous and the wicked people are made to understand that each will be rewarded according to the works of his or her hand. Are you preparing for a reward or rebuke from Jesus? Ask Jesus for the grace to do in all the places you go those things that are pleasing to the Lord so as to be qualified for beneficial reward.
