"For God is not
unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward
his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister."
(Hebrews 6:10)
God sees all our sins,
sorrows, and tears. He listens to our prayers. However, today’s meditation
verse highlights something more: God observes the help we extend to His holy
servants and the deeds we do to glorify His name. He is not unrighteous to forget
these acts of love and devotion.
In this world, some people may
forget the help they have received. When their social or financial status
improves, they might even avoid acknowledging those who supported them, fearing
it could tarnish their image. But our God, though not dependent on our help,
never forgets the acts of love we perform for His sake.
The Bible records the prayers
of those who reminded God of their righteous deeds. Nehemiah, for example,
boldly prayed about his works, saying, “Think upon me, my God, for good,
according to all that I have done for this people.” (Nehemiah 5:19).
Similarly, King Hezekiah
prayed with confidence, “I beseech thee, O Lord, remember now how I have
walked before thee in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which
is good in thy sight.” (2 Kings 20:3).
Dearly beloved, If our deeds
are pleasing to God, like these saints, we too can boldly mention them in our
personal prayers. God is not unrighteous to forget the labour of love we show
for His name.
Our God is a God who
remembers. The Bible tells us He remembered Abraham and saved Lot for his sake.
He remembered Noah and caused the floodwaters to recede. He remembered Hannah
and blessed her with a son, Samuel.
Yet, it is not necessary for
us to proclaim our good deeds to everyone. Doing so often stems from pride, and
the Bible warns that “God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the
humble.” (James 4:6). God already knows all that we have done for Him, and
it is unnecessary for others to acknowledge or praise us.
Whether we mention our good
deeds or not, God, who sees everything, will not forget them. He will reward us
according to our works. Let us strive to engage in actions that bring joy to
God.
