“And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name’s sake, shall receive a hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life.” Matthew 19:29 KJV
How great our joy will be when we realize the blessings that come from serving the Lord God our Maker!
God created man in order to bless him. Good parents prepare treasures for their children to inherit. If earthly parents can do this, how much more would the Almighty God prepare treasures for His children?
Jesus served God acceptably when He was here on earth, and that is why you should learn of Him. When you follow the example of His service, you can be sure you are serving God acceptably.
In Matthew 19:29, the Lord gives a mouth-watering assurance of our reward when we serve Him diligently. This reward cuts across both the temporal and the eternal.
It is indeed rewarding to serve the Lord.
Father, please help me to serve You acceptably, and not to miss my reward here and hereafter IJN.
Shalom!
Yes it is a good thing to serve The Lord and many rewards there be for us both here on earth and in heaven.
