WELL DONE, GOOD AND FAITHFUL SERVANT

"This job has been given to me to do. Therefore, it is a gift. Therefore, it is a privilege. Therefore, it is an offering I may make to God. Therefore, it is to be done gladly, if it is done for Him. Here, not somewhere else, I may learn God's way. In this job, not in some other, God looks for faithfulness." Elisabeth Elliot

PRAY:  Dear Father in Heaven, I want to hear the words "Well done, good and faithful servant!" Please help me to be faithful with everything You give me; every relationship, and every responsibility in my walk with You. I want to experience Your joy and happiness and I know that will only be possible if I learn to be faithful to other people, to You and to Your word. I will start with a few things and then I ask you to show me more ways to to grow in my life to become faithful in many things. Amen.

REFLECT:  One of the best things a child can hear from his or her parent or teacher is, "Well done!" And isn't that what we also want to hear from God? So how can we earn that compliment? It's not by our accomplishments or our titles, or by how much money we make or success we achieve. It's merely by being faithful, which is defined in the dictionary as "loyal, constant, steadfast." And God doesn't expect us to do the impossible. He says that if we have been faithful with a few things, that He will put us in charge of many things. That's doable. If we keep our eyes on Him and ask Him for help, we too can share in our Master's happiness.

ACT:  Make a list of a few things that you know you are faithful in or with. Are you satisfied? Is there anything else you can add or work on? Then ask God to help you become faithful in more things in your life. Expand your list so that you can be working toward hearing His beautiful words, "Well done, good and faithful servant!"
