A fable tells the story of a king who wanted to reward a good person, but he had no way to determine who was just pretending to be good.
He devised a plan to put a boulder in the middle of the street to see who would move it.
Several rich merchants complained about the lack of street maintenance by the king.
A troop of religious adherents sang and clapped as they cheerfully walked around the obstruction.
A peasant unhitched his cart, tied his donkey to the boulder, and hauled it off the road. In a depression underneath the stone, a bag of gold with a letter from the king commending him on his goodness was his reward.
Proverbs 3:5-6 tells us:
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.”
Our reward for living by the standards of God is waiting on us. What we do unseen will be rewarded in the light of day.
What’s the stumbling block you can remove for others? What can you do that will help others in their walk with the Lord, in their relations with their spouse and children, and in their family finances?
When we remove the obstruction in someone’s way, God’s reward is waiting on us.
Let’s get to it today!
