So the Lord has rewarded me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his sight. With the merciful you show yourself merciful; with the blameless man you show yourself blameless; with the purified you show yourself pure; and with the crooked you make yourself seem tortuous. For you save a humble people, but the haughty eyes you bring down. For it is you who light my lamp; the Lord my God lightens my darkness. For by you I can run against a troop, and by my God I can leap over a wall. This God—his way is perfect; the word of the Lord proves true; he is a shield for all those who take refuge in him.
Psalm 18:24-30 (ESV)Scripture clearly teaches cause and effect. If we seek God, we find God. If we ignore God, we ignore the source of life, hope, peace, joy, and more, and thereby never find them.
In a way, you get rewarded twice when you do as you should. While doing what you should is one reward in and of itself, having God say "Well done" is the icing on the cake.
