| October 3 Fruit of
Our Deeds
At
times every Christian needs to be reminded that
the struggle to live a righteous life is worth
it. There are times when we want to give
up. The people who lie and cheat and steal
to get ahead appear to have won.
There are other times that
we may be praying and working to do something
for the Lord and it feels as if all of our
efforts are in vain. God has promised us
that all of our efforts are not in vain however.
We don't know the will of
God. This is very frustrating,
particularly for people who want to know
everything that is going on and need to be in
control. While we work and try to live a
righteous life, we don't know what effect it may
have on other people.
God has promised us that
we will enjoy the fruit of our deeds however.
We will be rewarded for what we do. This
doesn't mean that we will achieve our goal every
time we work for the Lord, it just means that we
don't labor in vain.
God may have something
greater in mind than what we intended as we
labor. We may find the fruit of our deeds
is far great than we expected. Other times
we might just have to wait until we reach heaven
to receive our reward. We don't work for
nothing however. God has noticed the deeds
of the righteous and He will reward them.
