A Little Walk With God

A daily devotional through the recorded words Jesus spoke while He walked alongside us. Our website http://alittlewalkwithgod.com.

1. Thanks for joining me today for "A Little Walk with God." I'm your host Richard Agee.
2. Everyone likes payday. What will your check look like when Jesus comes?
3. Scripture
   1. Revelation 22:12-13
   2. The Anointed One: See, I am coming soon, and I will bring My reward with Me. I will pay back every person according to the deeds he has done. I am the Alpha and Omega, the First One and the Last One, the beginning and the end.
4. Devotional
   1. I don’t know anyone that doesn’t like payday.
      1. Gets confusing
         1. Retirement comes on one day
         2. Part-time work on another
         3. Consulting work comes at odd times
      2. Never get the days straight and it just appears since most of them are direct deposit into my accounts
   2. We like to get paid what we expect to be paid
      1. First check was a disappointment
         1. Taxes
         2. Social security
         3. medicare/medicaid contribution
         4. Insurance
      2. Seemed like other people got more of my check than I did after working for two weeks
      3. Tax Freedom Day this year was April 23, the day the average American earned enough to pay his or her taxes
      4. Jesus told a parable about some workers in a vineyard who agreed to wages and then thought they had been gypped because they didn’t get more than what they agreed
      5. We’re like that sometimes
         1. Put in extra effort
         2. Come up with more efficient ways to do things and reduce the time required and reduce our hours
         3. Want recognition, award, strokes
   3. Jesus is coming back
      1. We have a payday coming
      2. We will receive what we earned
      3. Payday based on our deeds Jesus says
      4. I used to wonder how our whole past could be recorded for all to see
      5. With the advent of video, iPhones, security cameras everywhere, digital storage, I’m not longer surprised that our whole life could be stored somewhere
      6. Jesus knows our deeds
      7. We’re just now smart enough to think He could really know everything
      8. He can play it back for all to see
   4. Payday is coming. What will your check look like?
