2 Corinthians 2:11 We
are not ignorant of Satan's devices
Satan will try to convince us that by living as Christians that we are
getting "ripped off."
Matthew
6:19-21 Where your treasure is...
Hebrews 11:23-28
Moses chose to suffer the affliction of God's people, rather
than
the reward of being Egyptian royalty, knowing that he would have a
greater reward in the end.
Proverbs
16:3
Commit thy works unto the Lord
James 1:1-3 Count it all
joy when ye fall into divers temptations
Joel
3:14 the valley of decision
Mark 8:34-37 What shall
it profit a man, if he gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?
Psalms
73:1-5, 16-18 prosperity of the wicked
Sometimes it seems that those outside the faith are doing better in
their lives than we are in ours. Their advantages are
short-lived, though.
Hebrews 6:10 God is not unfaithful
to forget your labor
Colossians 3:1-4 ye have
put off the old man and his deeds
Isaiah 64:4 what God
hath prepared
It has not yet been seen, or heard what God has prepared for His
servants. Much as it seems that others are doing better, that
it
is only for a time. This is the short life; in the next life
we
will be rewarded.
