Pray the Word with David Platt is a resource from Radical.net.

Revelation chapter 11, verse 18, and the time for the dead to be judged,

and for rewarding your servants, the prophets and saints, and those who fear your name, both small and great,

and for destroying the destroyers of the earth.

I want you to get this picture of a time that's coming in the future

for the dead to be judged, verse 18 says, and then listen to this phrase, a time for rewarding

your servants, the prophets and saints, and those who fear your name, both small and great. Did you hear that?

There's a time coming, Christian, servant of God.

When your God, Almighty, the Holy God of the universe, will reward His servants.

He will reward those who fear his name, both small and great.

Live for this today.

Don't live for what others think about you today.

Don't live for worldly applause today.

Don't live for yourself and even your own commendation today. Live for this. Live for

coming reward from God. And in view of coming reward from him, fear his name. Serve him with all your

heart, soul, mind, and strength. When a lot of people are looking and when

nobody is looking, knowing that your audience is in heaven, you live for an audience of one,

and you are living for his reward alone. Oh God, I pray this in my own life.

I pray this for every single person.

Praying with me right now that you would help us to live for eternal reward from you.

You would help us to set our minds and our hearts today not on earthly reward, not on earthly pleasures and treasures, but on heavenly treasures and pleasures,

on heavenly reward. God, we pray that you would help us to fear and revere your name today.
