"His reward is with him"
God's defining of reward comes early in the Scriptures. After Abram had refused to take from a vanquished enemy "a thread even to a shoelatchet" (Gen. 14: 23) instead of demanding the customary spoil, God said to him, "Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward."
Surely God is reward enough for any right doing. To know Him, to reflect His power, and to be conscious of at-one-ment with Him exceed any material benefits one might wish for; and the divine reward can never be withheld, for it accompanies God-impelled action.
The prophet Isaiah must have understood that the highest reward one can obtain is spiritual, for he said (40:10), "Behold, the Lord God will come with strong hand, and his arm shall rule for him: behold, his reward is with him, and his work before him."
