Hang in there

If you're waiting on the Lord, keep on trusting. Hang in there. His purposes know neither haste nor delay.

Verse: "I waited patiently for the Lord; and He inclined to me, and heard my cry."
—Psalm 40:1

“Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour. For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building...Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is. If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.” - I Corinthians 3:8,9,13-15. The fire is God, the wages we earn come from God, the more we labor in God's will the more we receive. Sometimes we are paid too much and suffer a loss because we simply stop doing the labor, sometimes God tests us by not paying us enough to see if we will remain faithful to our job. When you least expect it God will say, “Your reward has come”.

Now, once you get saved, that is when your labor counts and your rewards come, your first as far most greatest reward is eternal life and the Kingdom of God in heaven, but your blessings here on earth come as we do the things we do in God's will. We can still have the things we have in God's will, in fact, He gives us better things. “Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed. Delight thyself also in the LORD: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.” - Psalm 37:3,4. Praise God!
