Righteous, fair and impartial Judge!
"For there is no partiality with God. "Romans 2:11
You don't have to feel insecure, unsafe or fearful, you call on a God who is a righteous and fair Judge who will judge each one's work individually, scrutinizing and surveying every aspect of your work.
Your boss may not see you running up and down the floor, struggling with the photocopier machine, but you finally arrange the sheets and submit to the boss, saying not a word that you had to stay back until midnight in the office to get it done. God knows it all and you will be rewarded impartially!
You call on a Father who judges each person’s work impartially...1 Peter 1:17
From the year 2016 to around 3 years, I stayed in the Abide Angel Home hostel, (free hostel run by us for the poor and abandoned children), away from my family and children, when we launched it, because it was imperative I stay for safety purpose. One of our Angel Home children after she grew up treated me disrespectfully and rudely, forgetting the love and care she received from me. When I felt devastated, I knew God's eyes observed all the sacrifices I did for the ministry and He will reward me impartially. Glory to Jesus!
When people on whom you have made huge investments kick you and reject you, God would pick you up to reward your work. Stay patient!
All the trials and sufferings that Nehemiah underwent during the building of the burnt, broken Jerusalem walls were observed by the Lord. Nehemiah prayed: "Remember me with favor, O my God.!" Nehemiah 13:31
Deuteronomy 10:17
For the Lord your God is the God of gods and the Lord of lords, the great, the mighty, and the awesome God who does not show partiality nor take a bribe.
RUTH
Life would not always be hunky-dory, we got to roll up our sleeves and be ready to dirty our fingers! Are you there? No place for complacency, if you are aiming for success! Hard work! Did you hear me? Hard work! Proverbs 14: 23” In all toil there is profit, but mere talk tends only to poverty.”
I love the book of Ruth with just four chapters; yet, it speaks volumes to us, a lonely widow with grit and determination makes it in her life. Glory to God! She lost her husband, her father-in-law, left her home town, left her folks at home, had nothing of her own; yet, she had not lost the zeal for life, though. Glory to God! I am speaking to someone out there! Despite her grief and sorrow, despite her pain and agony, she kept moving forward! Ruth did not take a break to mourn, she kept moving, are you listening to me? If you had been through some tough times last year, stop brooding and sulking over it, move on. Ruth stepped into a new country with new people and kept moving on, she worked hard from early morning until the break of the day except for a short rest. Lazy, sloppy people don’t get to see the blessings of hard work! Speaking, planning and dreaming doesn’t get you to taste victory, you got to be ready for hard work. Proverbs 12:24”The hand of the diligent will rule, while the slothful will be put to forced labor.” God is an impartial God who will bless the diligent worker.
