May the Lord Reward You Well


"May the Lord reward you well for the kindness you have shown me today." - 1 Samuel 24:19 NLT

When I shop online, and my orders are delivered to my doorstep, I like to make the effort to give the delivery people a good review for their service. It doesn’t take long, and I like the thought of brightening someone else’s day. Earlier today, when my husband, Joe, got a delivery, I encouraged him to go online and leave a thumbs-up for his driver. I told him that God would bless him for it, and that it happens to be one of the easiest ways to get a blessing from the Lord. How do I know this? Because the Holy Spirit has spoken it to my heart, and Scripture confirms it.

A verse that God often brings to my remembrance is First Samuel 24:19 (NLT): “May the Lord reward you well for the kindness you have shown me today.” The Message Bible says it this way: “May God give you a bonus of blessings for what you’ve done for me today!” All through the pages of the Bible, the Lord reminds His people that He will not let even our smallest kindnesses go unrewarded. Jesus Himself said, “If you give even a cup of cold water to one of the least of my followers, you will surely be rewarded.” (Matthew 10:42 NLT) Every day, we could be demonstrating small acts of kindness toward other believers, without even knowing it.

Proverbs says: “Those who are kind benefit themselves, but the cruel bring ruin on themselves.” (Proverbs 11:17 NIV) It benefits us and profits us to be kind to others. But each time we are cruel or careless in our treatment of others, we could be bringing “ruin on [ourselves].” It’s simply not worth it. I love how the Amplified Classic version says, “The merciful, kind, and generous man benefits himself [for his deeds return to bless him.].” Hallelujah!

Jesus said: “GIVE, AND IT WILL BE GIVEN TO YOU. They will pour into your lap a good measure – pressed down, shaken together, and running over [with NO space left for more]. For with the standard of measurement you use [when you do good to others], it will be measured to you in return.” (Luke 6:38 AMP) Our God is not a skimpy God, but He is the God of Overflow! The Apostle Paul wrote: “[Remember] this: he who sows sparingly and grudgingly will also reap sparingly and grudgingly, and he who sows generously [THAT BLESSINGS MAY COME TO SOMEONE] will also reap generously and with blessings.” (2 Corinthians 9:6 AMPC) Start sowing a greater measure of acts of kindness today, and watch the Lord send you a greater harvest of blessings of every kind!

Prayer: Lord, teach me how to sow seeds of kindness everywhere I go. Remind me often that even my smallest acts of kindness will not go unnoticed by You. Work in my heart so that I will always be kind to others for the right reasons. Help me to bless others in Your name and for Your glory. Thank You that as I sow seeds of kindness generously, I will reap generously and with blessings!
