“His master said to him, ‘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 25:23)
The closer Moses got to God the more humble he became and the more his perspective mirrored that of His Father. For, “A genuine experience of God shrivels the ego.” Our perception of what is great and what is small does not match God’s perception because even the smallest of service is great in His eyes. It is possible to pretend to care, but faithfulness requires one to do the right thing at the right time, particularly when no one is watching. “A man may preach admirably, and he may work marvels in the church, and yet not be a partaker of saving grace. Hence, when the disciples came back from preaching, and said, "Lord, even the devils are subject to us through thy name," the Lord said, "Nevertheless, in this rejoice not, but rather rejoice because your names are written in heaven." Judas was amongst them; Judas cast out devils; Judas preached the gospel; and yet Judas was a son of perdition, and is lost forever. Because you cannot do much you must not think that you are not saved; for if you were to be among the chief of Christian workers it would not prove that you were certainly a child of God. Do not fret, then, because you are not able to participate in street witnessing, or stand in the pulpit to teach or preach; for, as long as your name is written in heaven, and your heart truly follows after the Lord, you shall have an abundant recompense at the last great day, even though here you might just be the keeper of the door.” Charles Spurgeon Dear Lord, help us to remember that you are looking for faithfulness, not greatness. Therefore, remind us daily that if we are “faithful in a very little we are also faithful in much.” (Luke 16:10) GiGi❤️
