Scripture:
Matthew 24:45-46 “Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom his master has set over his household, to give them their food at the proper time? Blessed is that servant whom his master will find so doing when he comes.
Observation:
God is our master and we are to do what He wants and has asked us to do. There is reward for doing what God wants us to do. There is punishment for not doing what God wants us to do. God does not tell us when or where the Master will show up. We are to be ready at all times and doing what He asks at all times.
Application:
God’s ways and His requests are constant and consistent. I am supposed to do what God wants me to do, all the time, every time. There isn’t a time when I am to change my ways or do something other than what our master has called me to do. It is not someone else’s job to do my job. It is up to me.
I should continually ask “What is the wise thing to do?” and “What is the faithful thing to do?” By asking these questions, it will remind me to keep my eyes on the prize. To keep me in line with what God wants for me in my life rather than doing what I want to do for myself. It will also help me to stay focused at all times so I can be assured of doing what God wants me to do at all times.
Prayer:
Remind me to be faithful at all times. Keep me focused on you and what you want me to do for your Kingdom. He keep me focused on your desires and not my desires.
