Well Done!
"But the man became king. When he came home, he said, 'Call
those servants that have my money. I want to know how much
more money they earned with it.' The first servant came and
said, 'Sir, I earned ten bags of money with the one bag you
gave me!' The king said to the servant, 'Fine! You are a good
servant. I see that I can trust you with small things. So now
I will let you rule over ten of my cities!' The second
servant said, 'Sir, with your one bag of money I earned five
bags!' The king said to this servant, 'You can rule over five
cities!'"
-- Luke 19:15-19 (ERV)
KEY THOUGHT:
Such sweet words are these to hear! Another translation puts it, "Well
done, my good servant!" (TNIV) God longs to give us his blessing and
praise. He showed us this at his Son's baptism, "You are my beloved
Son, and I am fully pleased with you." God does not forget our works
done to honor him and he always notices the effort made in our
stewardship. So know that even if no one else notices your efforts to
honor God, you can be assured that he notices them and is blessed.
TODAY'S PRAYER:
Father, may all I do bring you joy, honor, and praise. Thank you for
reassuring me that my efforts to honor you are not in vain. In Jesus'
name I pray. Amen.
