One of the things that you can be sure of is that God knows your steps. He knows your true commitment to Him. You do not have to worry that your righteous life won’t be noticed. Not only does He see your love for Him and your righteous service, He also delights in your way and will bless your path! Psalm 37:23 (AMP) says: ”The steps of a [good and righteous] man are directed and established by the Lord, and He delights in his way [and blesses his path].” Be encouraged and know that your steps are being ordered and directed by the Lord. Your relationship and journey with God will bring you to that place of blessing, favor and joy!
Here is the reward of humility!
In today’s world, many acquire riches by taking advantage of and even hurting others. Many companies and business people do not care how their process of making money affect other people, just as long as they are making a profit. When we strive to make money without caring what happens to others, or when we use illegal means to make money, it will invariably bring along with it stress, worry, fear, and retribution. From time to time, we see famous people arrested because they used illegal means to create wealth. Another thing we hear is that some had mental or emotional breakdowns because they could not bear the continual pressure and stress of keeping wealth that was ill-gained. However when God gives us bountiful provision, He also gives us the privilege of being able to enjoy it without undue stress and worry. We can go to sleep peacefully and confidently because we live our lives with godly integrity. He gives His beloved sleep (Psalms 127:2)! Along with the abundant resources He blesses us with, He also gives us honor and life. That my friend, is the reward of humility!
Proverbs 22:4 “The reward of humility [that is, having a realistic view of one’s importance] and the [reverent, worshipful] fear of the Lord Is riches, honor, and life.“
