1 Timothy 5:24‑25
 
“Some men’s sins are open beforehand, going before to judgment; and some men they follow after. Likewise also the good works of some are manifest beforehand; and they that are otherwise cannot be hid” ―1 Timothy 5:24, 2524Some men's sins are open beforehand, going before to judgment; and some men they follow after. 25Likewise also the good works of some are manifest beforehand; and they that are otherwise cannot be hid. (1 Timothy 5:24‑25).
THE unsaved do not always manifest all that they are in this life, but in the day of judgment every hidden thing will be brought to light and men will be judged every man according to his works. And so with the children of God. Some who are rich in good works go through life so quietly that few ever dream of all they are doing for the blessing of their fellows. These are the people who let not the right hand know what the left hand doeth. But at the judgment-seat of Christ all shall be made manifest, and there will be a rich reward for everything that was done in accordance with the Word of God. No one is competent now to judge others. That is the prerogative of the Lord alone.
“Is your place a small place?
Tend it with care! ―
He set you there.
Is your Place a large place?
Guard it with caret—
He set you there.
What’er your place, it is
Not yours alone, but His
Who set you there.”
―J. Oxenham.
