We must always remember that our reward is in heaven. Verse 13 says, “Then I heard a voice from heaven say, “Write: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.” “Yes,” says the Spirit, “they will rest from their labor, for their deeds will follow them.” This chapter shows the saints enduring tremendous persecution and suffering, but they knew they were living for God’s glory and not their own. Their suffering and labor was relieved when they found rest in heaven. We tend to get hung up on finding the easy life here on earth. The truth is it doesn’t exist. We will find rest in our promised reward when we go to be with The Lord eternally in heaven. Until then, remember it is all for His glory!
