Today's Scripture Focus

Matthew 20:1-16

devotional summary

To live that extra 10 or 20 or 50 years without the guilt ofsin, certainly has its own reward. To have the privilege of workingin God’s vineyard and feel the joy of watching one more person cometo know Him as their Lord carries a priceless value. To be part ofbuilding God’s kingdom for the years He allows us to labor for Himcannot be viewed as hard labor in a field with no reward, it hastremendous value in its own right. We just need to stop andremember what God gives us during those extra years He allows us toengage in the work of building His kingdom.

He created us to care for His creation. When we don’t do that,somehow I get the feeling we we just will never be content. Butwhen we work in His fields, building His kingdom, doing the work Heplans for us, I think we enjoy that peace only He can give. Theinternal reward of a job well done. Don’t worry about what theother guy gets. The peace God gives on the journey with Him paysevery single moment we live in His presence.
