Deferred Reward | August 6, 2023

Ever had trouble sleeping? What if that troubled sleep is for a divine purpose? Maybe to pray? Maybe to recall a task or situation that you forgot about and now it is God’s timing for you to act upon? This is what happened to King Ahasuerus (aka King Xerxes). He forgot to reward someone. The timing wasn’t right when the righteous act was performed. Now it is. Often rewards are deferred for a divine purpose. That is certainly true of our heavenly rewards. So, whether you are having insomnia and God wants to use it for His purpose, or whether you are on the other end of the stick waiting for that reward, God’s timing is perfect. Rest in that truth! This is what we will learn from Esther 6 and more, as Pastor Jason Elliotson preaches this Sunday.
