If you feel your Good Deed has not been rewarded, you can put God in remembrance of it.

Read: Nehemiah 13:14, 22, 29, 31 

14 Remember this good deed, O my God, and do not forget all that I have faithfully done for the Temple of my God and its services.

22 Then I commanded the Levites to purify themselves and to guard the gates in order to preserve the holiness of the Sabbath.
Remember this good deed also, O my God! Have compassion on me according to your great and unfailing love.

29 Remember them, O my God, for they have defiled the priesthood and the solemn vows of the priests and Levites.

31 I also made sure that the supply of wood for the altar and the first portions of the harvest were brought at the proper times.
Remember this in my favor, O my God.

Be honest and gain respect.  

Read: Genesis 30:33 

Be honest and gain respect.

33 In the future, when you check on the animals you have given me as my wages, you’ll see that I have been honest. If you find in my flock any goats without speckles or spots, or any sheep that are not black, you will know that I have stolen them from you.”

Great Leaders are always ready to serve others. They are willing to work even when they have to get their hands dirty.

As long as it glorifies God you can do what you want to do.

   but those who trust in the Lord will lack no good thing.

Don’t get it twisted. Keep your thinking clear.
