Oh Lord, don’t never let me forget who I’m working for, and may I be found Matt.24:45-47 as the “faithful and wise servant, whom when his Lord… when he cometh shall find so doing…” For you have promised if I do your will, you will “make him ruler over all his good.”
It is no wonder the Apostle Paul said in Rom.8:18 “that the sufferings in this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.”
Wow, there is nothing down here that will ever compare with being found as the wise servant. To hear the resurrected Lord of Lord’s and King of Kings at last say “Well done, thou good and faithful servant, you have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many”. Oh, weary soldier, you may have been wounded, so have many who have gone before you, but they endured through it all. Oh Lord, never count me to be unfit for the battle, even if I must crawl across the finish line, I have your forever promise to be with me until the end. Don’t let the sin around you, (Matt.24:12-13) keep you from enduring until the end. Stand up on those shaky legs, and lift up those holy hands, and look up, for all who endure until the end, Jesus promised shall be saved. Maranatha!!!
