A faithful, sensible servant is one to whom the master can give the responsibility of managing his other household servants and feeding them. If the master returns and finds that the servant has done a good job, there will be a reward. I tell you the truth, the master will put that servant in charge of all he owns. But what if the servant is evil and thinks, ‘My master won’t be back for a while,’ and he begins beating the other servants, partying, and getting drunk? The master will return unannounced and unexpected, and he will cut the servant to pieces and assign him a place with the hypocrites. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Matthew 24:45-51 NLT
Just a reminder, we are only as good an employee, a friend, a Christian, as we are when no one is looking to see what we are doing…
Don’t start cutting corners now. Don’t slack off. You may be tired, but in 2 Chronicles, we are told that the eyes of the Lord search the whole earth in order to strengthen those whose hearts are FULLY committed to Him.
What is He seeing in our hearts?
Prayer:
Father,
We want to be pleasing in Your sight. Strengthen our hearts, O God. In Jesus’ Name we pray. Amen
