13TH FEBRUARY
Matthew 25:23
“His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master.’”
Just like in the parable of the talents, in our lives, God has given us everything.
Whether it be financially, emotionally, in our relationships, or anything else. God expects us to take what he has given us no matter what our situation is and use it for him. We are not supposed to “hide it in the ground” (v25).
Is your life going well? Is your job going smoothly and your family happy? What is God calling you to do with your life right now? What relationships is he asking you to invest into? Who is he calling on you to witness to? How can you invest what he has given you to bring glory to him?
Is your life hard at the moment? Is there sickness in your family? Are you out of a job? How is God calling you to be faithful in your situation? How can you invest the experiences and lessons he is teaching you to bring glory to him? 1 Corinthians 10:31 says “…whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.” How can you bring glory to God in your current circumstances?
MAKE IT PERSONAL
What does “well done good and faithful servant” look like in your situation? When you reach the end of this season of your life, will God say that to you? And what is the awesome result of that faithfulness?
