it's biblical to enjoy the fruits of your labor - i believe it is b/c of this premise (and that we be rich in good deeds) that "it's ok" for Christians to be rich.
i still think it IS ok, but nowadays i've been feeling that for the Christian, it's NOT ok to make materialistic things be his reward. the bmw, the big house, the stable and abundant income shouldn't be his reward or the prize he seeks to acquire.
Jesus should be his reward. Jesus should be his prize, the goal of his life..
this wasn't my thought even until a year ago; a year ago my prayer was "Lord, I'll do anything for you as long as I have a stable income so that my family wouldn't have to struggle financially and can enjoy abundance."
i don't know what happend int he past year, but i am so glad and thankful that God has fixed my eyes upon himself, revealing himself as my reward, himself as my prize and goal of my life.
