Two Things God Remembers about His Servants

Hebrews 6:10 is my all-time favorite verse about how God faithfully takes special note of those who serve Him.

For God is not unjust so as to forget your work and the love which you have shown toward His name, in having served and in still serving the saints. (Hebrews 6:10 NASB)

Consider this verse! God is faithful, and He won’t forget our service to Him.

1. He remembers our work—each individual act.
2. He also takes note of the love within us that prompted the deed.

No one on earth can consistently do these special things. We forget, but God remembers. We see the action; God sees the motive.

This qualifies Him as the best record-keeper and judge. God alone is perfectly and incessantly just.

Even the best of servants get weary. The Lord’s desire is to encourage us to be diligent and to trust Him despite the demands.

That is why this same writer, before the ink is dry on verse 10, adds:

And we desire that each one of you demonstrate the same diligence so as to realize the full assurance of hope until the end, so that you will not be sluggish, but imitators of those who through faith and endurance inherit the promises. (Hebrews 6:11–12)

My fellow servant, you’re in good hands with the Almighty!
