Read Matt 24:45
The Word tells us that God shows Himself strong in behalf of those whose hearts are “perfect” toward Him(2 Chronicles 16:9). That word perfect doesn’t mean that we have to do everything just right & live w/out making a mistake. Thank God, we don’t have to do that. It means “devoted” a heart consecrated, dedicated, loyal & faithful to God.
The mistakes we make will not stop God from working in our lives. Only our lack of faithfulness can do that.
Who is faithful? The one who spends his time doing what God has called him to do. Or as Jesus put it, the one who takes up his cross & follows Him. The one who denies his fleshly desires & spends his life on the things God desires him to do.
Maybe God has been urging u to spend more time in His Word & in prayer or dealing w/u about ministering more to the people around u. He may be calling u to pray for the sick or to teach the Word. But you’re busy, so u glide on w/good intentions & tell God you’ll do it later. Well, later is here!
Decide today that u are going to be the faithful & wise servant. Find out what is stealing your time from the Lord. Serve His interest instead of your own.
Do u want to be a ruler in the household of God? Do u want Him to show Himself strong for u? Then take up Jesus thoughts today. Take up His purpose & His plans. Now is the time to be faithful.
