TODAY’S DAILY DEVOTIONAL MESSAGE
Well Done, Good and Faithful Servant
“Well done, good and faithful servant; you were obedient in a few matters, and I will set you in charge of many matters. Take part in your Lord’s joy.”
Many of us pause and hold off on committing to serve until the conditions are ideal. Delay is disobedience.
God makes what we do matter when He asks us to do it. No matter how challenging the task He has given us may be, no matter how few people stand with us, no matter where He sends us, and no matter how long it may take, be faithful to act upon His prompting.
Don’t overlook the minute details or mock the humble beginnings. Our Heavenly Father notices and values our obedience, even when we toil in silence. He magnifies and makes it much when we give our best, even if it is only a few fish and loaves.
Make sure to raise up the next generation of Jesus devotees if He calls you to the nursery! Lead with integrity in the boardroom if He sends you there. If He asks you to mop the floors, do it carefully. Your obedience to the higher call blesses those around you.
It is our duty to respond and use the abilities He bestows upon us. He will reward us by elevating us to greater things if we do small things well and are dependable over a small number of things. In His kingdom, everything counts.
