Welcome once again friends. We are focusing in on the hope that we have in our God. Today, I want us to continue trusting in God, continue looking at God as the source of all hope. Colossians chapter three verses 23 and 24 it says, ‘And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men, knowing that from the Lord, you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ.’ When we've been through disappointments, our immediate reaction is to say that we will not continue to do the things that we did diligently earlier because nobody notices us and there is no reward for our labor. But scripture is calling us to look at God as our rewarder. When we look at God as our rewarder, no disappointment can easily shake us. We can refresh ourselves; we can pick ourselves up and speak to our own hearts and say that because I am serving the Lord, I will continue to do what God has called me to do because this very passage said that He is the rewarder, He is the rewarder when we serve Him, when we live for Him. When we are facing disappointments, I want us to remind ourselves that we don't have to be burdened and we don't have to carry these hurts that could pain us in a deep way, but the bible reminds us that Jesus is the one who has carried our griefs, He has carried our sorrows on the cross. Not only did the Lord Jesus carry the sicknesses that we experience in our body, but the bible tells us that even in our soul, when we feel the pain of disappointment, our God is somebody who has carried that pain on the cross with us. When we study the book of Hebrews, we read about the Lord Jesus who experienced sufferings in this world so that He could be our high priest who can relate well with us and this is the God we serve, who has lived the pain that we are experiencing today and He has also carried that on the cross for us and in exchange to our disappointment and the pain of our disappointment, He gives us His hope and He is the God of all hope. Friends, I want us to be encouraged, keep journeying on, look to God as your rewarder and keep serving Him, don't give up. Let's pray together, Heavenly Father, we thank you that you are faithful. When we make you our focus and when we do everything that we do to please you, you will reward us, and we will not miss that reward. We thank you Lord, in Jesus’s name we pray, Amen.
