Word for Today, Sat, 14 Feb 2004: God will praise each one
Posted by: masinick <masinick@...>
Dear friends,
Today's message is from Max Lucado. This week, we've been
following a theme about God's love for us, and our response to
love God and to love one another. As we've now reached
"Valentine's Day", let's briefly examine one of the most
incredible statements of all - how God will praise US!
Yours in Christ,
Brian
___________________________
God will praise each one of them. I Corinthians 4:5
Your Personal Blessing. What an incredible sentence. God will
praise each one of them. Not "the best of them" nor "a few of
them" nor "the achievers among them," but "God will praise each
one of them."
You won't be left out. God will see to that. In fact, God
himself will give the praise. When it comes to giving
recognition, God does not delegate the job. Michael doesn't
hand out the crowns. Gabriel doesn't speak on behalf of the
throne. God himself does the honors. God himself will praise
his children.
And what's more, the praise is personal! ... Awards aren't given
a nation at a time, a church at a time, or a generation at a
time. The crowns are given one at a time. God himself will look
you in the eye and bless you with the words, "Well done, good
and faithful servant!" (Matt. 25:23 NIV).
