The wicked man earns deceptive wages, but he who sows righteousness reaps a sure reward. Proverbs 11:18

We don’t see it now, especially when we’re in the thick of things. We don’t see the rewards other than the temporal comments such as “thank you” or “you did a great job.” Occasionally we’ll get the recognition for a job well done, but often it will get overlooked and passed over for more important things. God, of course, remembers it all and has all of those rewards just waiting for us, though I believe that bowing before God Himself will be reward enough when the time comes.

Sometimes, though, the temporary reward may be knowing that you did the right thing when it wasn’t easy or possible.
