A FAITHFUL SERVANT!
Matthew 25:21
“His lord said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant; you were faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.’”
Over the years of my life I have known men and women that I would classify as good and faithful servants. Big deal! What I think does not matter a bag of beans! It is what the Lord thinks that matters.
A quick look at my biography will reveal that I have filled many roles. Some of them have been high stress and extremely sensitive, such as serving as a Minuteman Missile Commander or Nuclear Safety Officer. I have also painted houses, worked for a dairy and performed other menial types of labor. Although I did not always achieve it, my primary goal was to be a Faithful Servant.
The ultimate goal of my life is to enter the gates of heaven and be welcomed by Jesus with the words, “Well done, good and faithful servant!” It send chills up and down my spine to think of it.
So what determines if a person is a good and faithful servant? It is not how good we are or how often we attend church. Today’s Scripture relates to a parable Jesus shared about servants who had been given gifts and abilities. Those who had used the talents given them to provide an increase were good and faithful servants. Are you using your gifts wisely?
Blessings dear hearts. Draw near to God today, trust Him completely and be a blessing!
