Whosoever Gives a Cup of Cold Water
For these few days, we are looking at “whosoever” promises—and that means anyone… which includes you.
“And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward.” (Matthew 10:42 KJV)
This is a beautiful and encouraging promise.!
Jesus is telling us that even the smallest act of kindness matters to God.
Notice what He does not say. He doesn’t say it has to be a big gift. He doesn’t say it has to be public. He doesn’t say it has to be expensive.
He says a cup of cold water—something simple, something ordinary, something almost anyone can do.
God is not only watching the big things. He is watching the little things done with the right heart.
And here is the promise: “He shall in no wise lose his reward.” Nothing done for Jesus is ever wasted. Nothing is forgotten. Nothing is overlooked.
Therefore
Look for simple ways to serve today. Small kindnesses done in Jesus’ name carry eternal value—and God Himself promises to reward them.
“For God is not unjust to forget your work and labor of love which you have shown toward His name.” (Hebrews 6:10 NKJV)
