DAILY?READINGS: Numbers 3; Psalms 148-150; Mark 13
…Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things. Matt. 25:21
What a return on investment—reigning over many things because of faithfulness in a few things. Reward is one incentive to be true to Him who has been true to us. But higher still is the service that issues from a grateful heart overflowing with the knowledge of sins forgiven, His abiding presence now, and a loving Saviour waiting to welcome us to our eternal Home. This above all, should be the greatest motive to faithfully serve the King. —Mark Kolchin
Hear ye the Master’s call, give Me thy best!
For be it great or small that is His test.
Do then the best you can, not for reward,
Not for the praise of men, but for the Lord.
—S. Kirk
