Second Chronicles, chapter 15, verse 7.

But you take courage.

Do not let your hands be weak.

For your work shall be rewarded.

Oh, this is so good.

This is the word from God to Asa as he's carrying out all kinds of

reforms among God's people that are good and needed. And the spirit of God comes upon

Azariah to bring this word to Asa and the word is take courage you take courage

don't let your hands be weak in this work you're doing for your work shall be rewarded and as I

read those words to Asa i realize those words are from jesus to every follower of his but you like hear this

from god to you today you take courage you have jesus inside you, for you. So do not let your hands be weak in the work

that he's called you to today and whatever you're walking through in your life. For your work

that's done in Jesus' name for Jesus's glory will be rewarded. We're living for eternal reward.

Sometimes we think it's bad to live for reward or selfish to live for reward, but that's not the way

the New Testament talks. Like Jesus says, rejoice and be glad because great is your reward in heaven.

Think about even Hebrews chapter 12, for the joy set before him, Jesus endured the cross,

scorning its shame and sat down to the right hand of God.

He was doing this, going to the cross for a reward.

And think about Jesus with a rich young man saying, go sell all your possessions, and you will have what?

Treasure in heaven.

Like he's not calling him to sacrifice.
