Proverbs 27:18 ESV
Whoever tends a fig tree will eat its fruit,
and he who guards his master will be honored.
In this verse, God advices us to take a whole-hearted care to our master. The master is the one who gives us job, salary, and many other things. He is our fig tree that gives us fruit. Thus we should respect and honor him, "guard" and care for him, even if he may be stern. And we will be rewarded.
God is our ultimate master. He provides us with good things and plan the best for us. Thus we need to care deeply for Him and His work - the church, and His people - other Christians. God assures us that even if we only give a cup of cold water, we will not lose our reward. He knows and He will reward.
