ETERNAL REWARDS<\/p>\n

Even tho you rarely see my posts,
\nOh man I am having quite a blast,
\nI am working so hard for the Lord,
\nAnd rewards that will forever last.<\/p>\n

I labor not for this present world,
\nIt is merely wood, hay and stubble,
\nIf your foundation is not the Lord,
\nSomeday you will be in big trouble.<\/p>\n

People today are so very deceived,
\nSeeking only power, money & fame,
\nSo blinded by the temporary things,
\nWrapped up in that old Devil’s game.<\/p>\n

Never considering what comes next,
\nOnce their life on Earth is through,
\nDoing what appeals to their flesh,
\nThey just really don’t have a clue.<\/p>\n

But as for you I hope you are smart,
\nAnd have heard God’s higher call,
\nFor if you obey Him in present life,
\nYou will not ever be ashamed at all.<\/p>\n

Greeting you when your life is done,
\nGreat rewards will be in His hand,
\nThis is the message I share today,
\nMy prayer is that you understand.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
