“…SAVE ME, LORD, FROM THOSE OF THIS WORLD WHOSE REWARD IS IN THIS LIFE.”

Psalms 17:14

“You only live once”, is how many people live: “Do whatever makes you happy, grab life, follow your heart.” Disciples of Christ know, “For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each of us may receive what is due us for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad. Since, then, we know what it is to fear the Lord, we try to persuade others.” (2 Cor.5:10,11).

The fear and judgment of God both restrains us and motivates us to live for Him and others and not just for ourselves. We know the Scriptures speak about crowns, rewards, and hearing someday from God, “Well done.” Is your reward only in this world?

~Rev. Scott A. Walsh
