The rewards!

Today's Reading
1st Cor 3:6 to 9

Yesterday we spoke of our works and who it is that deserves the Glory and Honor. Whatever it is that Jesus has called us to do, a few things are certain. There are no "Small Jobs". All parts of the body are equal. We can not function without the other parts. We are equally called to Glorify Christ. That is with words and deeds. Eph. 2:10 reminds us we are his workmanship. No different than a fine jewelers works. We are made to serve. To do as the Master bids us to do. One great and Glorious day we will give an accounting of our service. What makes one work of greater value than another is NOT the size of the work, but rather the selfless attitude behind it. With a humble heart of a "The Kingdom comes first, others second, then myself” belief much reward is waiting in heaven.

For those whose motives are self-promoted or down right selfish, there is loss of reward. I'm sure there are those who think themselves great in the kingdom, that are in for a surprise; likewise there are those who are humble and are just doing their Christian labors in anonymity, that are going to be amazed. Gods’ economy is far different from this world. For certain God will reward the humble and lay waist to the proud. Let us Pray:

Lord God, We labor only to bring Glory to your name. We love to be the instruments of your choice. The honor goes always to you. We thank you for the reward that for the humble waiting to be with you. We are glad that we can store this kind of treasure there, but Lord giving you glory is our hearts desire. Help us to serve you. Better, fuller and yes unselfishly; for God and God alone, more of you and less of "ME". In Jesus’ Holy name we pray, Amen.
