Wait for Your Wages

Opening: Wait for your wages is the call of every true Christian.

“All true Christians must be content to WAIT for their wages.”
– C.W. Ryle

Jesus never promised instant reward. In fact, He made it clear that we’d face trouble before triumph, emphasizing the need to wait with patience for your earnings.

“In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”
— John 16:33 (NIV)

Our Present Pain is Not Final

Paul reminds us that suffering is temporary and incomparable to what God has prepared: the challenge is to patiently await your wages.

“I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.”
— Romans 8:18 (NIV)

When hardship seems endless, we are encouraged to take heart and keep waiting:

“Wait for the LORD; be strong and take heart and wait for the LORD.”
— Psalm 27:14 (NIV)

Faith Thinks Forward

Delayed rewards don’t mean denied promises. As Proverbs teaches us, patience is key as we anticipate our wages.

“As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he.”
— Proverbs 23:7 (KJV)

If we live with eternity in mind, we will think with faith-filled expectation, even in trials. Real wages come not in applause or comfort, but in the crown of life awaiting faithful servants. So take courage as you wait; the glory will far outweigh the wait.

Good morning — and as my mother loved to sing — let’s rejoice in the promise of what’s to come, knowing that while we wait for your wages, they are assured.

Let Us Pray

Lord, strengthen me to wait for You. Help me remember that my reward is eternal. Teach my heart to trust Your timing, not mine. Amen.
