“God is not unjust; he will not forget your work and the love you have shown him as you have helped his people and continue to help them” (Hebrews 6:10).
The Bible tells us to work knowing that God’s eye is on us. What we do we are doing for Him. He is the Master who oversees what each of us does. This Scripture gives even further assurance. God won’t forget what we do.
This passage particularly points to what we do to help other believers. One of the battles each of us faces is the war against selfishness. My first natural thought in any situation is “What’s in it for me?” God wants my first spiritual thought to be “What can I do for you?”
In the Gospel of Mark Jesus was on His way to Jerusalem where He would die the next week. It was going to be the toughest week of His life. That was on His mind because He had just told His disciples what was going to happen. As He walked through Jericho a blind beggar shouted to get His attention. Jesus called him forward and asked him a penetrating question. “What do you want me to do for you?” (Mark 10:51).
That is a question that God wants on our lips. When we are guided by that question we are doing what Jesus did. And God wants us to know that He will not forget that we asked the question and then responded to others by helping them.
