Hebrews 10:35-36 KJVS
Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward. [36] For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.
Although this scripture talks of eternal salvation, it also shines on our daily walk with God. Many people are not patient enough to walk in the WILL before getting the promise. Now the promise is a reward for following the will and not the other way round.
And so Paul says if you focus your mind on the reward(promise) more than the needful (WILL), there is a problem. Because in the will is what you need to get the reward. The will is to birth the reward, not to make God look like a magician. Even as much as God loves to bless people, there must needs be order of priority which is His WILL. He wants you to esteem His plan for you higher than anything. Many people are expecting pay at the end like monthly salary and that's why they can't get blessed. So they try to boycott the WILL to get the reward by bribing God with seeds n sacrifices not knowing that in the WILL is the reward.
In the WILL is the Promise. Remember, you need to be patient the scripture says. In other words be diligent in doing what God has asked you to do and while doing it, the reward will meet on duty, not off duty or after duty like humans do. The wisdom of man is foolishness to God. And that's why I will always say there is no need for sense when it comes to working with God, your IQ can't comprehend the workings of God. Where you are expecting Him to show up from will not be He's idea and concept of emergence. If not people would have been playing heaven 419. The Promise is for those who know and walk in God's plan for their lives. Check yourself, is God happy with what you are doing everyday? Are you in He's WILL for your life? Don't just play life as society dictates, play it as God would have you do it. Don't let the voice of men counter God's plan by suggesting what they feel is better for you.
