"The Rewards of Righteous Behavior"

Matthew 25:37-40 Then the righteous will answer Him, saying, Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You drink? When did we see You a stranger and take You in, or naked and clothe You? Or when did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You? And the King will answer and say to them, Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My grethren, you did it to Me.
Last night, a call was received that someone who had opened their home to a poor family had no more food left and no money to buy more food. The need of that person was met, but in the spiritual sense that person's kindness toward a destitute family has already been rewarded in heaven by the Lord. He sees the kindnesses that you do. He sees the tithes and offerings that you place in faith in the offering. There is nothing that escapes His attention, and His rewards are great. In fact, they are eternal.
That which you do reflects your personal love for the Lord and also your belief as to how big God is. Do you worship a big God or a small God? Do you feel that He can meet your needs, or do you need to make sure that Number One is cared for first.
