HE GIVES GOOD REWARDS

WHAT DO YOU DESIRE

 

Do you struggle as so many do just to get to the next day.

Are you overwhelmed by the cares of the world?

Does it take all of your energy and imagination just to survive day to day?

Each of us are born into a world that demands that we give it our blood, sweat ,tears, hopes, and dreams so that it can cause our efforts to seem that they are spent in a way that our time is consumed as vapor.

That is the work of the destroyer , who comes only to steal, kill and destroy. (John 10:10)

In our days we are told to speak continually of the good things of the Lord, and not to make our cares and worries the primary focal point. ( Psalm 113:3)

Persevere, and look forward to a time when there will be rewards given to those who have been deemed worthy to receive them from the Lord. (2 Corinthians 5:10)

Lets look at some of the rewards, crowns if you will, that we are eligible to receive.

Paul said it best, look forward to the end of the race. (1 Corinthians 9:24)

There is a Crown of Glory for those who have served Him faithfully. (1 Peter 5:4)

We see a Crown of Rejoicing. It is given to those who have been soul winners. (1 Thessalonians 2:19)

There will be a Crown Incorruptible, for those who live victorious lives of purity.  (1 Corinthians 9:25)   (Ephesians 6:11)

The Crown of Righteousness, it is given to those who long for His return.   (2 Timothy 4:8)

There is available a Crown of Life; for Christian Martyrs   (Revelation 2:10)

How wonderful it will be to walk the street of Heaven wearing crowns that belong to the King of Kings, that He has judged you worthy of wearing.
