- Do you like to be Rewarded?
- In this verse it says that confidently trusting in God Brings a reward.
- in Heb. 11:6 it says, "He rewards those who sincerely seek him."
- Trust Him and rely on Him even through difficulties and uncertainties.
- Trust in Him when it is easy and when it gets tough.
- Patiently endure.
- Patience is not easy in a culture that seeks instant gratification.
- Patient endurance is not easy when you can't see where the path God has you on is leading you.
- Patient endurance means you have to push through doubt and discouragement.
- But one thing is certain... If you learn to trust Him and rely on Him and seek Him and His ways, you will be rewarded.
- Continue to seek Jesus like you did when you first gave your life to Him.
- In Hebrews 10:32 it says, "Think back on those early days when you first learned about Christ. Remember how you remained faithful even though it meant terrible suffering. Sometimes you were exposed to public ridicule and were beaten, and sometimes you helped others who were suffering the same things."
- It is only when you go through difficulties that real trust shows up.
- Realize this morning that there is a purpose in what you are going through.
- On the other side of the struggle and difficulty is a Promise...The promise that God will Reward you.
- As you trust Him, He is working in you, stretching you and maturing you, making you into the person that He wants you to be.
- He is shaping you into the person who can Handle the Reward He has for you and through it bring glory to His name.
- You will be blessed, you will be rewarded, so hang in there.
- In Heb. 10:36 it says, "THEN you will receive ALL that he has promised."
- I emphasized two words...THEN & ALL.
- THEN...that means on the other side of the difficulty.
- ALL ... Don't settle for half a reward or partial reward.
- You want it all!
- The Full Reward!
- Ephesians 3:20 says He "is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us."
- His "ALL" is exceedingly abundantly better than anything you could ask for or think.
- 1 Peter 5:6 says, Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:
- Your due time is coming!
- Don't let defeated and discouraged thoughts enter your mind.
- Stay focused on His abundant blessing in every area of your life!
- Keep persevering...there is a great reward at the end of this Race!
- Have Patient endurance, today!
- Have a Great Wednesday!
