The godly can look forward to a reward, while the wicked can expect only judgment. Proverbs 11:23 The Holy Bible, The New Living Translation
Even when it does not seem like it is worth it, stick with it. You may not see the rewards right now. Sometimes it takes decades for you to understand the big picture and see the wisdom in following Jehovahs laws.
For me it was the party animals around me when I was a teenager. Many mocked me because I refrained from partying, sex out of marriage and doing drugs. Now that I am old I see it was well worth it.
Why?
One of the judgments that comes crashing down upon the wicked is their self destruction caused by their wicked lifestyle . Their minds and bodies are shot.
When we get old we lose a lot of our independence. Things we took for grated when young like going shopping, doing laundry, going to the doctors and such now require assistance.
Because the wicked cared about nobody but themselves when they were young they have nobody but themselves now that they are old. Their lives are a miserable hell. Their bodies are constantly aching. If they still live independently they have no friends and no caregivers. They are unbearably lonely. If they live in a seniors home nobody comes to visit them and because they are so miserable the staff avoids them. Again their lives are a miserable hell.
On the other side of the coin the godly constantly have others the gladly come to help them with their shopping, housework, and appointments.
I am old now and see the rewards of the godly and the punishment of the wicked. It was worth it to be Godly. Joseph: Anthony a son of Jehovah
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Emunah (God is faithful 1 John 1:9, 2 Thessalonians 3:3 ) that you are faithful to always reward each of us our due for the words and actions we have done in our daily life. I praise you in the name of He whose actions on the cross reward me with an eternal Heavenly home with You, Jesus Christ. Amen
May your actions produce a sweet harvest and not one of dung both in this life and in the eternal one. Joseph a son of Jehovah
