The apostle Paul wrote, “Let a man so consider us, as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God. Moreover it is required in stewards that one be found faithful” (1 Cor. 4:1-2)
This life we were given is but a fleeting moment in time. Whereas, eternity is just that…eternal. The time here, although fleeting, should be used wisely. When we use our time wisely, we are bonded to wisdom which is of God. The faithful walk according to their purpose and in accordance with God. The path be narrow but the reward boundless.
In life as we go we’re accountable for our actions, both in this lifetime and the next. Civil laws…are to be followed, else mayhem and consequences ensue. In this lifetime and the next.
We are on a journey while here on earth. The journey is a test and a proclamation of our devotion to God. We all want to hear, “well done good and faithful servant, enter in the joy of your Master, ” (Matthew 25:21) when we enter into the Kingdom of God. We don’t want to hear, “I never knew you, depart from me you who practice lawlessness.” (Matthew 7:23) As Jesus both states and warns in Matthew, we are to be good servants on this journey called life.
Even Jesus said, “I’ve come to serve, not to be served…” He was an example for all of us to facilitate and coordinate love and God’s commandments as we go through our cycle of life in flesh bodies. The aftermath of our reward when the journey is over will be fully compensated for the actions in which we choose.
It doesn’t matter what our political acumen is when we depart from this world, It won’t matter what clothes we own, or what kind of car we drive…it’ll not be worth one thing in Heaven. Our actions, deeds, words, and faithfulness will be the deciding factor in how we’re greeted and ultimately judged by our Father.
A true sign of a faithful servant is compassion and the ability to give God the glory at all times. After all, we couldnt’ accomplish anything without Him. “I can do all things through Christ…” (Philippians 4:13) Without Him, we are nothing, Without Him, we are dead…With Him there is light, and through Him there is Life, eternal life.
As we journey in a world together, remember each deed is being recorded, both good and bad. There is nothing hidden from God.
How are you doing on your journey so far?
I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.Notwithstanding ye have well done, that ye did communicate with my affliction. Philippians 4:13-16(KJV)
