Faithful in little things
Matthew 25:23 (NKJV)
23 His lord said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.’
It was once said “It will be an unspeakable comfort to look beckon a life well spent. And be able to say in humble sincerity, “my time was not cast away….. It was spent in sincere labours for my God. In making my calling and election sure, in doing good to men’s souls and bodies, it was entirely devoted to God.”
In His parable of the talents in Matthew 25, Jesus stresses the importance of being faithful to the work assigned to us. We want to hear Him say, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant”
Faithful in little things
Its not the amount of work thats important, or its status, or notoriety. Its the faithfulness with which we do exactly what He has assigned us. Our lives and labours call for perseverance, persistence, patience, and prayer.
If God has assigned our daily tasks, He’ll produce an eternal harvest. Don’t give up, and don’t worry if the work seems small, the costs large, or the results meagre. Just be faithful to the will of God. Nothing more, and nothing less.
I really want to encourage you to be diligent with your Bible study time, because God has so much more for us than we can get from just going to church once or twice a week and hearing someone else talk about the Word. When you spend time with God, your life will change in amazing ways, because God is a Redeemer. There’s nothing that’s too hard for Him, and He can make you whole, spirit, soul and body!
You’re important to God, and you’re important to us at www.faithministries.com.au. When it comes to prayer, we believe that God wants to meet your needs and reveal His promises to you. So whatever you’re concerned about and need prayer for we want to be here for you! Or even if you just want to say Hi, you can contact us at www.faithministries.com.au/contact/
Until tomorrow
Blessings
