Text: Isaiah 3:10-14
10Say ye to the righteous, that it shall be well with him: for they shall eat the fruit of their doings.
11Woe unto the wicked! it shall be ill with him: for the reward of his hands shall be given him.
12As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths.
13The LORD standeth up to plead, and standeth to judge the people.
14The LORD will enter into judgment with the ancients of his people, and the princes thereof: for ye have eaten up the vineyard; the spoil of the poor is in your houses.

Message
The prize giving day is always a special day in every school. It is a day that makes a difference between the hard working and lazy children. The award-winning children are always happy and are the pride of their families and friends. Shame and regret are the rewards for the lazy and playful children, so, there is reward for all. Similarly, two groups of people are mentioned in our Bible passage. God was watching everyone making a record of everybody’s activities. He was happy with a few and very sad about the conduct of many others.

The prophet went to the people with a message from God. Nobody was left out, everyone was to reap what he or she sows. The righteous and the wicked people are made to understand that each will be rewarded according to the works of his or her hand. Are you preparing for a reward or rebuke from Jesus? Ask Jesus for the grace to do in all the places you go those things that are pleasing to the Lord so as to be qualified for beneficial reward.

Prayer for today: Lord, help me to always do what is pleasing in Your eyes so that I can get a good reward from You.
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
