Word for Today.........Bonus Check!!!!!
Scripture: Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompense of reward. For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise. Hebrews 10:35-36
RECOMPENSE!!!!!
The word recompense means to give or pay something to by way of compensation (as for a service rendered or damage incurred) Now, the spanish word for bonus is recompensa, which sounds a lot like recompense and is actually the same word. So let's deal with this! First, the day we live in is the "right now" generation. We want everything, quick, fast and in a hurry. However, the word of the Lord clearly tells us that we have to hold to our confidence or don't let go of your hope (paraphrased) No one is exempt from this. However, we have to know that if we hold on to the confidence in Christ that He will do whatever it is that He said He would do, we have a bonus check coming!!!!
How many of us receive bonuses on our jobs, or wish we received bonuses? These bonuses are for going above and beyond or reaching a desired goal. Most of the time the goal, when we start out seems to be unreachable. But if we reach the goal or objectives laid before us, we can expect our bonus checks!!! Well, God does us the same way. No, you won't go to hell for not waiting on God to deliver you out of a situation and neither will you be condemn to hell for wanting God to get you out of the furnance before the time of development is complete. But there is something that we miss when we refuse to wait or are impatient about God's delivering process. It is the bonus!!!! The bible says in Psalms 27:14 to wait on the Lord and be of good courage and He will strengthen our hearts. If we are ever to receive the bonus of God's favor, the bonus of His anointing, the bonus of His power, we have to wait patiently on the Lord. Don't give up in the middle of your battle, because we shall reap our harvest if we faint not.
Be Blessed!
