The Word of God is like...

As I strolled down to an ATM machine a couple of miles from my house, i met an old man, panting heavily, both hands on his knees, wheezing endlessly... I had to approach him and ask if he was alright, not being able to say anything, he raised his head, nodded, pointed back, took a deep breath and said, "The ATM machine" I was frozen for a second before i heard the old man laughing.... " I did it, I escaped, wee!" "Wait a minute old man" I said, "you mean the ATM machine is chasing you?" "Almost" the old man replied, "each time i make a withdrawal, before i turn my back, it throws a debit message into my phone" "oh that" I exclaimed, "so today is a different day, I aint getting no debit text message" "well good for you" I told him as i finally went on my way towards the ATM machine, after like about ten steps, i heard a double beep text message tone from the direction of the old man. the next thing i heard.. " hey, Stranger" as he held up his phone, "It caught up with me" I chuckled and went on.

As I withdrew from that same machine, I couldn't help but to think of the old man's last statement to me... "it caught up with me" I hadn't even turned my back on the machine after my withdrawal before i got the withdrawal alert on my phone. 

Jesus likened the word of God to various things, he said "For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled." Matthew 5:18. its a law, you perform an act, you get the reward or consequence that follows the act. Jesus also said "And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be" Revelation 22:12. I come quickly, just like the debit text.

Its only normal that in life, if we want good rewards for our deeds, we need to be nice and not for once get tired of doing so. the road we take, determines to the greatest extent where we find ourselves.

The word of God is like making a withdrawal from an ATM machine, soon enough, you'll get the alert for your deed.
