For God [is] not unjust to forget your work and labor of love which you have shown toward His name, [in that] you have ministered to the saints, and do minister.

Hebrews 6:10 (NKJV)

I am the salt of the earth. I am the light of this world. Jesus said it so I believe it. I am a carrier of the Glory of God. Today, I will experience the extreme goodness of God. Today, I make myself available for God to show His goodness to others through me.  Today, I am increasing in influence. Today, I will see the goodness of God in my life! Today, something good is going to happen to me so I expect miracles. 

Happy Friday!

We’re at the end of the week and it is time for an amazing weekend! If you are following our Faith+ reading plan, we finish the Book of Jeremiah this weekend and start on Jeremiah’s second book, Lamentations.

After we finish Lamentations, we will read through Ezekiel. Now, that Fall is here. Do you have a favorite Fall Drink? Vote in the poll below. Also, check out the refreshed Extra Encouragement section for additional encouragement after you finish today’s devotional.

Hebrews 10:32-35 says, “But recall the former days in which, after you were illuminated, you endured a great struggle with sufferings: 33 partly while you were made a spectacle both by reproaches and tribulations, and partly while you became companions of those who were so treated; 34 for you had compassion on me in my chains, and joyfully accepted the plundering of your goods, knowing that you have a better and an enduring possession for yourselves in heaven. 35 Therefore do not cast away your confidence, which has great reward.” (NKJV)

In this passage, the writer shares how the readers endured hardship because of their faith and stand for Jesus. The writer reminded them in Hebrews 6:10 that God hasn’t forgotten their labor of love. In this passage, he told them to not throw away their confidence because their confidence had a great reward attached to it. In this Scripture, reward carries the meaning of compensation and payday. Their confidence had a payday attached to it.

As we have shared, this confidence isn’t rooted in our human ability. It is a confidence rooted in God, His Word, His character, and our relationship with Him. It is a supernatural confidence displayed by our words.

As I was recording yesterday morning’s podcast, in my heart I picked up that we are entering into a reward season. As I reflect on that prophetic moment, I truly believe we are entering a season where we will see rewards and see God do miraculous things in that arena of our lives.

As we go through this reward season, I want you to remember what the writer said in verse 36, “For you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God, you may receive the promise.” This cheerful endurance, also known as patience, is the ability to stay constant no matter the pressure.

Don’t give up. Stay faithful. Stay constant. Keep moving forward in the plan of God for your life. Keep your trust in God and keep speaking His promises. It’s reward season. God has good plans for your life and great rewards in store for you.

I receive your help, wisdom, and strength. Thank you! In Jesus’ name. Amen.”
