Your Star in Heaven!
"And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall
awake. … Those who are wise shall shine like the brightness
of the firmament, and those who turn many to righteousness
like the stars forever and ever."
Daniel 12: 2-3
Along Hollywood Boulevard and Vine Street in Hollywood,
California, is the famous Hollywood Walk of Fame. More than
2,500 large stars are embedded in the sidewalks
containing
the names of “stars” in the entertainment industry.
The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce manages the Walk of
Fame, choosing two dozen additions each year. Entertainers
who have been nominated must meet certain criteria, and if
selected, must pay a $40,000 fee.
Certainly, stars embedded in concrete will keep the memories
of the entertainers alive, but not forever. In fact, most people
who are considered stars in their day are forgotten as time
goes on.
But those who live for Christ will be remembered forever
and “shine … like the stars forever and ever.” It’s one thing
to be a star in the eyes of the world, and another to be a
star in the eyes of God.
You may think your service for Christ goes unnoticed.
But it is not overlooked by God. He will remember your
work for Him forever.
"Holiness is its own reward."
Thomas Brooks
