Ecclesiastes 2:26 "To the man who pleases Him, God gives wisdom, knowledge, and happiness, but to the sinner He gives the task of gathering and storing up wealth to hand it over to the one who pleases God."
If you please God, by living a life that Glorifies Him--living as an example of Christ, not only are you rewarded with wisdom, knowledge, and happiness, but wealth, gathered by sinners, is also given to you. Don't focus on the things that will be rewarded to you. Think about what already has been rewarded to you (your salvation, your faith in Jesus, the hope of eternity with God, peace, joy, the truth, etc. etc.). Think about pleasing God and He will worry about your heavenly rewards.
Father, help me to always keep my focus on You. To follow You, love You, please You. Help me to "walk in the light" so I may please You. Amen.
