God sees our hearts, God sees our perseverance, God sees how obedient we are and just like Zechariah and Solomon, God knows how to honor us and give us the result that we need in life.
This can also be linked to how we should allow our life in accordance to the word of God by praying, sharing the gospel, living a life of example and a life of Christ here on earth. God's major priority is salvation also. This means that he should be a major concern for us.
In Matthew 24:14, and the gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto a nation and the earth is almost near. This is the most important thing. We come to him by faith, believe that he has sacrificed and we accept him as our Lord and personal deliverer. We become the children of God.
