Well done my good and faithful servant.

“The master was full of praise. ‘Well done, my good and faithful servant. You have been faithful in handling this small amount, so now I will give you many more responsibilities. Let’s celebrate together!’ (Matthew 25:21 NLT)

Did you see it? Let's look at one line again. "You have been faithful in handling this small amount, so now I will give you many more responsibilities."

Really?!

Most of the time we read this for the money aspect of it, if we are good stewards with the treasure given to us we will be given more. While I do not totally disagree, I also believe there's more to it than that.

God seeks people who are faithful, people who are willing to say yes to Him in small things so that He can trust them with even greater things. Our walk with Him is never about being comfortable or doing just enough to get by or even attempting to take pride in the little ways we say yes. Because with every yes becomes a far greater assignment. I'm not sure about you but there are times I am not sure I am ready for something bigger, to be trusted with even more.

Yet, God knows our hearts and is able to use each day of our lives to stretch us and mold us into the people He desires us to be. We all want to hear, "well done my good and faithful servant", but are we willing to be faithful? In the small ways? In the life changing ways? Are we willing to risk our comfortable lives to be trusted with the far greater responsibility of Kingdom building? That might just be what God is asking, are you willing?
