The Real Reward

You know how sometimes you can read a very familiar Scripture and get a brand-new revelation?  Well, I have something to share with you today!  I was reading Genesis 15:1, and the Lord blew my mind!

After these things, the word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision, saying, “Do not be afraid, Abram.  I am your shield, your exceedingly great reward.”  (Genesis 15:1 NKJV)

What comes to mind when you see the word reward?  We often associate reward with something we receive as a token of gratitude or some type of recognition for an achievement.  Other times, we may see reward and think of a prize. 

When we think of reward as it relates to Scripture, we often think of Hebrews 11:6.

But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.  (Hebrews 11:6 NKJV)
