(Hebrews 6:10) God is not unjust; he will not forget your work and the love you have shown him as you have helped his people and continue to help them.

God knows everything we do.  That thought could be a little disconcerting, but it’s true.  He sees those silly moments before the bathroom mirror. I like to make faces and create silly songs when no one else is around.  I sometimes talk to myself.  Rock and roll music will bring out rhythmic movements that I’d rather no one see.  I sometimes say words that I definitely wouldn’t say in church.  God sees it all.

Our scripture for this week focuses on the kingdom work that God sees.  I’d bet you pray for others when only God knows.  How about the occasional gift of a few dollars to a homeless person you pass by?  Kind words of encouragement, taking the time to listen to a friend in distress, these things are good works in the kingdom of God.  I could name many others.

“He will not forget your work and the love you have shown him as you have helped his people and continue to help them.”  I’ve always thought of good works as showing love to the person I was helping, but I never quitethought of good works as showing love directly to God.  This is exciting!  How can we show our love to God?  We can help his people and continue to help them.  God is watching us, and isn’t nice to know that he is seeing us loving him?
