THE REWARD OF GOOD DEEDS

"On that night could not the king sleep, and he commanded to bring the book of records of the chronicles; and they were read before the king.
And it was found written, that Mordecai had told of Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king's chamberlains, the keepers of the door, who sought to lay hand on the king Ahasuerus.
And the king said, What honour and dignity hath been done to Mordecai for this? Then said the king's servants that ministered unto him, There is nothing done for him"(Esther 6:1-3)

Sometimes we feel like all our efforts to do good seems not to have reached the presence of God.
From the text, the king had a sleepless night, where he discovered that Modecai, a faithful Jew, had saved his life.
Though Modecai's good deed had gone unnoticed, God intervened, causing Modecai's good deeds to be noticed and rewarded.
Three facts appear clear in today's devotional:
(1) GOOD DEEDS SOMETIMES SEEMS UNNOTICED, YET GOD SEES THEM.
When our good deeds are overlooked by others, they are not overlooked by God. "For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name.." (Heb. 6:10).
(2) REWARD FOR GOOD DEEDS COMES IN GOD'S TIMING.
Modecai's reward didn't come immediately, instead God orchestrated events in such a way that Modecai's good deeds was recognized and rewarded at perfect time. All you need at such times is patience. "Let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not" (Gal. 6:9)
(3) GOOD DEEDS MUST BE HONORED AND REWARDED.
God honoured and rewarded Modecai's good deeds. God's word assures us that good deeds will never go unrewarded. "And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance:for ye serve the Lord Christ" (Col. 3:23-24)
God has not forgotten all your efforts. Wipe your silent and secret tears because God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love.
Shalom.
