“Thus saith the Lord; Refrain thy voice from weeping, and thine eyes from tears: for thy work shall be rewarded, saith the Lord…” (Jeremiah 31:16a).
The wedding has taken place. It was lovely because it was well planned. The last week of our study reveals rewards in regards to the marriage covenant. If we look closely some of them are for those who have entered into a “heavenly covenant” with Christ.
Making any relationship work takes time and energy. To keep a marriage alive and exciting, it takes love and patience. To keep our relationship with Christ alive and exciting takes spending daily time in His Word and prayer. Work and sacrifice do not go unnoticed in either relationship.
Our verse states there will be a reward waiting for us. It may come in this life or be bestowed on us in Heaven. The very thought of this should make our hearts glad.
