WISDOM KEYS FROM PSALM 37 — DON’T ENVY THE WICKED 5 – You have Eternal Rewards
“Day by day the Lord watches the good deeds of the godly
and he prepares for them his forever-reward.”
Psalm 37:18 (TPT)
Do you get tired or feel weary for the good deeds you do?
Sometimes you are tempted to feel the wicked does no good thing yet they have a smooth life.
Your good deeds will never go unrewarded. Don’t get tired of doing good.
Don’t learn from the wicked.
You are designed by God for good works which are foreordained that you operate in them (Ephesians 2:10).
“For God, the Faithful One, is not unfair. How can he forget the work you have done for him? He remembers the love you demonstrate as you continually serve his beloved ones for the glory of his name.” Hebrews 6:10 (TPT)
God has bountiful rewards for those who do good deeds.
Also, a fellow who understands that in Christ we receive gifts of eternal life will begin to wonder if this part of the Psalm is for the forgiven ones.
Beloved, it sure is.
Through the finished work of Christ on the cross, we receive the gift of eternal life. By the good works of faith, we demonstrate the goodness of God to others.
In the Church, there are people who assume there are no reward systems. But that is not true.
The rewards system of the Kingdom is not necessarily how you work hard to become righteous and receive Heavenly citizenship.The matter of good deeds is a matter of serving God’s purpose with the abilities He has invested in you.
How you serve faithfully will determine how the Lord will honor you.
Remember this is not about Salvation.
Take note;
Through God’s saving grace you became born again. To be born again is to receive the life of Christ. At new birth, we all became kings and priests in the household of God.
We all received a royal crown (“diadema” in Greek) for reigning.
Nonetheless, the forever-rewards of the Lord for your good deeds are honoring crowns of reward. These crowns are different from “diadema”, they are called “Stephanos”.
This crown is a symbol of triumph.God gives those who demonstrate great deeds of faith these victory-crowns as honor. This is not about obtaining salvation. Christ has already obtained eternal salvation for you. However, the LORD rewards you for the good things you do with the salvation which you have received.
This is what Paul the apostle said about himself:
“I admit that I haven’t yet acquired the absolute fullness that I’m pursuing, but I run with passion into his abundance so that I may reach the purpose that Jesus Christ has called me to fulfill and wants me to discover. I don’t depend on my own strength to accomplish this; however I do have one compelling focus: I forget all of the past as I fasten my heart to the future instead I run straight for the divine invitation of reaching the heavenly goal and gaining the victory-prize through the anointing of Jesus.” Philippians 3:12-14 (TPT)
No wonder he relentlessly laboured for the spread of the gospel.
He then charged the saints including you with this:
“And let us all advance together to reach this victory-prize, following one path with one passion.” Philippians 3:16 (TPT).
Don’t sit on the fence, don’t fold your arms and don’t relent.
Day by day the Lord watches your good deeds.
Serve and be a blessing to others. Do good that the Lord will be glorified.Hallelujah!
