PSALM 18: 24-26
“The Lord has
rewarded me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of
my hands in his sight. To
the faithful you show yourself faithful, to the blameless you show
yourself blameless, to the pure you show yourself pure, but to the
devious you show yourself shrewd.”
Who you
are determines who God will be to you, our God is capable of changing from
being a Lamb to a Lion. He can change from being a fountain of love and rivers
of life to the consuming fire. Your attitude and your behaviour will determine
the side of God that He will show to you.
The Lord
showed the side of favour to the Israelites at the Red sea, and they walked on
dry land. At the same time God showed His side of vengeance to the Egyptians, the
Lord did baptism of destruction for Pharaoh and his chariots at the Red sea.
What an awesome God we serve! Though our
God is a merciful God, yet He is a God that stands His word.
Our text
can be used to drive home the fact that whatever you sow you will reap
(Galatians 6:7). The Lord will reward each and every one of us according to
what we do and who we are. If you are kind; you will receive kindness, if you
are mean and cruel; you will drink from the same cup. If you are faithful; the
lord will not forsake you, He will remain faithful to you in all your ways. If you
live to bless others, the Lord will bless you beyond your imagination. If you
use your wealth to oppress others, you will be oppressed in return.
If your
work is blameless and you live pure, the same measure will be used for you. Search
yourself today, take the inventory of your life, do genuine examination of
yourself. “Let everyone examine himself; and let him eat of the bread and drink
of the cup.” (1 Corinthians 11:28). Only you can genuinely examine yourself, no
one else can. Do the soul searching today and make necessary amends.
