Beloved: grace, mercy and peace be yours from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord. I am delighted to welcome you to another week of the month of June 2026. My prayer is that God will cause you to live everyday with the consciousness that your words and deeds will be judged someday, so that you may devote yourself to living a life worthy of Him. Amen.
As we begin this new week, I want to encourage you with the words of the bible that say:
“Then those who feared the Lord talked with each other, and the Lord listened and heard; a scroll of remembrance was written in his presence concerning those who feared the Lord and honoured his name…” (Malachi 3:16NIV)
What is this telling us? It is that God keeps records of everything we do. Our words, actions, sacrifices, prayers and service are seen and not forgotten by Him. Many people think that because no one sees what they do, it does not matter. But the Bible teaches that God sees all things and will bring everything to judgment.
Ecclesiastes 12:14 says: “For God will bring every work into judgment, including every secret thing, whether good or evil.” This means that both our good deeds and our wrong actions are on record before God. Nothing escapes His notice.
Also, Matthew 12:36 says: “But I say unto you, that every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.” Can you see that? Every word spoken is recorded. Therefore, believers must be very careful of their speech, conduct and relationship with others. That is because they will someday be held accountable for them.
The good news is that God also records our faithfulness, prayers, giving, and labor in His kingdom. Hebrews 6:10 says: “For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love…” So, if you have been serving God faithfully and seem unrecognized by people, do not be discouraged. Everything is on record before God, and He will reward every faithful servant in His own time.
Since everything is on record, then, let us live holy lives, serve God sincerely and remain faithful. The God who records every deed will surely reward the righteous and judge every work according to His perfect justice.
Have a lovely week.
