A Reward That Keeps Us Going…

When justice prevails everyone rejoices. It’s in our DNA. God is just, He avenges all who do evil, who do not accept His offer of free grace. I’ve always believed God honors those that honor Him. This truth is again stated here in Psalm 58. David knew God. He didn’t live a perfect life, yet he was known as a “man after God’s own heart”. What does that mean? It means that when we “imperfect” human beings decide to follow God, we accept His Sovereign Reign. We accept all that comes with it, the good and bad. We do what He tells us to do. We repent when we realize our sin, and we rejoice when we realize God blesses us. We are to constantly draw near to God. When we do this, there is a reward for those who live for God. It’s a reward beyond description. A reward that keeps us going in times of great need. A reward that continues to give when we are at the end of our rope. A reward that only He can give. A reward freely given to us out of God’s great love for us. Who wouldn’t want this reward? Who would deny something so great? It only comes to those that pursue Him. David knew this, and he shared it with us through this psalm. I think we need to read it, and take heed, don’t you?

11 Then at last everyone will say, “There truly is a reward for those who live for God; surely there is a God who judges justly here on earth.” Psalms 58:11
