/*Reassure the righteous that their good living will pay off. -- Isaiah 
3:10 The Message*/


>From Genesis to Revelation, this message permeates the scripture. To 

Cain, God says, "If you do what is right, will you not be accepted?" At 
the conclusion of the Bible, Jesus declares, "My reward is with Me, and 
I will give to everyone according to what he has done."

Why repeat it here in Isaiah?

This verse is like a fish swimming upstream. All around it are 
pronouncements of woe and judgment, of God's wrath poured out on a 
nation gone mad with sin. But as God cries out His warning against those 
who ignore and defy Him, He stops briefly to speak to the bewildered 
righteous.

"These judgments aren't about you. Hang in there. I haven't forgotten 
you. I won't abandon you. At the right time, you will find your reward."

Give Him time. God will make sense out of your life. Nothing is wasted; 
nothing is lost. God remembers all that you do, and He will reward every 
good done from a heart of faith.

Be encouraged!
Dwight

What happens when you partner with Dwight Clough Ministries? Victims of 
violent crimes and survivors of abuse are finding peace, wholeness, the 
power to forgive and the strength to set boundaries. Those ensnared by 
addictions are finding freedom. Marriages are being restored. Families 
are strengthened. Christian brothers and sisters in restricted lands who 
face persecution are finding strength and encouragement. Young believers 
are learning how to walk with the Lord, and people are coming into the 
faith for the first time. None of this happens as a result of one 
person's efforts, but rather this is God's work as He blesses the 
sacrifice of many people including yourself. We partner with you, with 
other ministries, and, most significantly, with the Lord. That's how the 
supernatural happens.
