Psalms 116:14
I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all his people. KJV
On a certain day Pa James called his servants; told them he will be travelling but will return soon; he gave them charge over his large garden; all of them promised to take care of the garden; he smiled and left.
Every morning, Isaac would walk round and water the garden, prone the overgrown branches, harvest the ripe fruits when necessary. His brothers kept postponing their work, claiming to be busy... After a season, Pa James returned and his servants welcomed him, he asked for the fruits harvested from his garden. Only Isaac had fruits to present while the faces of his brothers went pale. Surprisingly, Pa James had planned to give the entire farm and business to the workers who were most faithful, Isaac was the only faithful one so Isaac inherited everything. His brothers were charged for receiving such huge wages and not doing any work.
What were your resolutions the day you welcomed God as your father, the day God took you as His son and brought you into His kingdom; paying the greatest price to bring you in. How faithful are you to those resolutions? Like Isaac in our illustration, only those who are faithful will receive a blessing from the Lord when He returns. Return to the Lord today; renew your vows; keep them, for it is only a short while and he that will come will come (see Heb 10:37).
Go into today determined to be faithful in all that God has assigned to you.
Prayer: thank you Jesus for bringing me into your kingdom, grant me the grace to remain faithful to the end. Amen
