Corinthians 3:13. “ But there is going
to come a time of testing at the judgment day to see what kind of work each
builder has done. Everyone’s work will
be put through the fire to see whether or not it keeps it’s value.
I remember a plaque my family
had hanging on the wall when I was a child, it said,
“ Everything here on earth
will pass, everything done for Christ will last.”
I heard a speaker once say, “If it doesn’t
count for eternity, it doesn’t count.” When the time of testing comes, I fear
there will be many of us who have worked superfluously in this life. We need to
evaluate and do what will count for eternity and not what counts for our
recognition and satisfaction while we are on earth.
Many times I have feared
embarrassment for speaking out for God or even what is right or wrong. My fears stem from the idea that someone may
find me “intolerant” or “self righteous” or “pious” but if my convictions are
Bible based and I speak truth, then my rewards will be eternal. What a glorious ceremony that will be when we
receive our rewards from our Heavenly Father!
If our work is built on a
Solid Rock as the foundation, our building will endure the tests and fires and
still stand. So we need to insure our efforts are meaningful and built on Jesus
Christ and Biblical Principles
.
Prayer for today: Heavenly
Father, I am so thankful for your guidance in my life. My prayer is that everything I do, will be
for you. I need your direction so that
my energy can be used for your honour and glory. My desire is to make everything count for
eternity and not to be concerned about earthly rewards that won’t last. I pray
that my desires will be in complete harmony and agreement with your plans and
all my efforts will withstand the test of fire and time. In Jesus name. Amen.
