Two Rewards

“O love the LORD, all ye his saints: for the LORD preserveth the faithful, and plentifully rewardeth the proud doer.” Psalm 31:23

The previous verses of this Psalm express the troubles and benefits one may have during their life.  I speak of those that rely on GOD, His Saints.  The proud have their own reward.  For every trial or trouble the believer has GOD gives the answer and leads them from the “Valley of the shadow of death, to “Still waters”. “O love the LORD, all ye his saints:”.

Although at times things seem bleak as if there is no hope, hope is always alive in CHRIST.  He remains with us, He never leaves nor forsakes us.  We are born from above and indwelled with the HOLY SPIRIT.  He is our Comforter who lives in us and guides us through everything we face.  Is there anything too hard for GOD?  I think the hardest thing for GOD to do is to get us to understand if we would just allow Him to have control instead of trying to do things ourselves how much better things would be. “for the LORD preserveth the faithful”

Just as GOD rewards His people He has a reward for the proud.  Both are rewarded to the full length.  GOD doesn’t cut corners or go half way, He gives what is due according to our actions. It seems to me David is giving testimony here of the goodness of GOD to all those that trust and rely on Him and a plea to the proud or wicked to turn to Him. “and plentifully rewardeth the proud doer.”

Oh love the LORD, all you saints. 

His love for you is real.

None other can care as much.

Oh in CHRIST make your appeal.

Oh He has never let you down.

Or left you on your own.

He reaches out to you today

And He will guide you home.

“And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;  Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.” John 14:16-17
