Galatians 6:9 And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.

If God has asked anything of us, He did so with purpose. Our human instinct is wanting to see some measure of success for the things we do. We play games and keep statistics of our wins and losses and analyze our game to figure out how to improve our game.

This is not a game. This is about the salvation of souls which is beyond our control.

• Psalm 3:8 Salvation belongs to the Lord; your blessing be on your people! Selah
• Jonah 2:9 But I with the voice of thanksgiving will sacrifice to you; what I have vowed I will pay. Salvation belongs to the Lord!”
  Revelation 7:10 and crying out with a loud voice, “Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!”

We are blessed to be included in His salvation plan.

Obedience of faith should lead us to praise not reward.

We do not get to see the final results of our efforts until we join Him in eternity.

I have to remind myself that these messages of salvation go out to the world wide web to nameless faces that I may never see until I am called to the Great White Throne.

My hope is that final judgment will only be seeing the result of what Jesus did through me and not all the mistakes I made along the way. I could be wrong about that, but that hope propels me forward when I am tired. I am human, I get tired.

Today my hope is that this post encourages someone that feels the same way.

The way of the world is instant gratification. This media world with “likes” and emojis are not a scorecard.
