Psalms 1:6
For the Adonai knoweth the way of the righteous, but the way of the ungodly shall perish.
We may sometimes feel that no one sees nor appreciates us for our true value. It may look to us that this cynical world misunderstands even the purest of our motives. By comparison, it may appear to us that those with ill motives and evil intentions succeed in their endeavors and that this world rewards them with credit and glory
What a comfort to know that Adonai Himself knows the way of the righteous, that nothing escapes His eyes. He is the ultimate Judge; ultimately, He is the only One we have to please and His reward lasts forever (Romans 11:29).
None can fool Him with pretense and false works. His spirit discerns between the sincere gift of our person to Him in pure and simple obedience, and egocentric self-glorifying, self-righteous religious works done in pride and dissenssion.
So let us not fear if today, the world doesn’t appreciates and values and our participation. Very soon another day is coming when the books will be opened and all things all will be revealed. In that day, every secret of every heart will be opened, every motivation revealed, and just recompense will be given to all.
May it come soon, even in our days!
