Cup of Water

Matthew 10:42a
"And whosoever shall give to drink unto the little ones a cup of water ...."

Little thing like giving a cup of water to a child gets reward. Jesus said, "He shall no wise (way) lose his reward" (Matt. 10:42c).

Every day what we are accustomed to ... will reflect what we will do in the future kingdom of God. It is like "practice doing good little things" on the earth and God would bless you with greater things in the future kingdom.

Tony once told someone who brought the cup of water to him before he preach. He said, "Did you know that you will receive reward given by Jesus?" Really? Huh? They seem surprised so the scripture was given to them to find in Mark 9:41 "For whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink in My name, because ye belong to Christ, verily I say unto you, he shall not lose his reward." Then everyone want to get a cup of water to Tony. Tony said, "Whoa, one at a time per week, ok?"

It makes a person feel good to do something that would be very helpful to others.

So God bless you today!

Song: It Is No Secret
It is no secret -- what God can do.
What He's done for others, He'll do for you.
With arms wide open, He'll pardon you.
It is no secret -- what God can do.
