– Scripture:

Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master.”

                         Matthew 25:21, ESV

 – Reflection:

Serve in Honor –

There are times in life when we feel like we’re doing the right thing but not making progress. It’s easy to get discouraged and lose our passion. One test we all have to pass is being faithful when nothing new is happening. We’re just going to work, coming home, taking care of children, and doing the same thing again. Will you stay faithful when it feels like you’re going in circles? When you’re faithful in the routine, something is happening that you can’t see. Your character is being developed. Your spiritual muscles are getting stronger. The routine of life is not exciting, but it’s necessary. You won’t become all you were created to be without being your best when it’s mundane. When you’re doing the right thing with a good attitude month after month, you’re being prepared for where God is taking you. When God can trust you to be faithful in the ordinary, He will take you into the extraordinary. When you’re faithful on average days, you will see exceptional days.

Our Prayer for Today

Father, thank You for calling us to be faithful in the daily routine, knowing that You are preparing us for the new things You have in store. Thank You that You will take us from the ordinary to the extraordinary. We’re going to keep being our best, serving and loving right where we are. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
