Are you Trustworthy to God?

December 15, 2008 Yvette 8 comments

Matthew 25:21 “His lord said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant; you were faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.’(NKJ)

I have a feeling that in the not too distant future God is going to be pouring out His spirit and gifts upon the church in ways that we have not seen before. 

Meditating on this, the Lord reminded me of the  verse above.   I then looked up the word faithful, and it literally means trustworthy, true.

We are quick to say that we put our trust in God, which is scriptural.  But have you ever stopped to think that God has to put His trust in us as well?    That alone should cause anyone to take a good look at themselves and ask the question, can God really trust me? 

I had to do some soul searching on this one, as my desire is to serve Him and to show myself approved.  I also desire many things from the Lord.  

We all know that  building  trust does not come overnight.  It is built with time, like a relationship.   As like any parent, we give our children certain tasks and responsibilities, and if they meet our expectation and find themselves to be responsible, we can give them bigger and better things. 

God is no different.  He may begin with entrusting us with something that may seem small and insignificant in our sight, but God sees the big picture.  Once we complete what He has entrusted to us, be sure that the next assignment will be larger.

The word ruler in the verse quoted above  means that God will appoint you and ordain you.  But to arrive at that point, we must start out small.  It is up to us if we decide to stay small,  or move on to bigger and better things in the Lord.  

Let´s move on to bigger and better things.   God has many gifts to shower upon us, and let us be ready to receive it.

Blessings in Him.
