Genesis 15:1

After these things the word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision saying, “Do not be afraid, Abram I am your shield; Your reward (for obedience) shall be very great.  

The devil is out to steal the reward!  Every day we must put up our shield and done our armor, and remain obedient to God.  Our reward will be great if we do.  We cannot comprehend what God has in store for us as we are faithful to Him in our lives.  Don’t give up hope, and don’t give up the faith.  God is a rewarder!
