Dear Ones,
Hope you wake to a sunny day filled with blessings. Thank you for prayers as we arrived safely to Mark’s in N.C. and are enjoying our time with family. Lots of fun, food, games and more games (I beat them all at Horse–that’s because I had brothers!) and a good movie etc.
Devotions from Judy’s heart
How many of us are faithful? God is faithful but are we found faithful?  Jesus was faithful even to the point of death, but would He be able to call us faithful? The servant who had been given 5 talents earned 5 more and the Master said in Matt. 25:21, “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.” The Lord was pleased with his servant and rewarded him for his faithful work.

Today the Lord is looking for faithful servants who do what He says and are faithful to the commitments we have made to Him, to our families, to our church, to our work etc. Every time we step up to the plate for what know we know we should be doing we find fulness of love and life. But if we walk away from what we know we are to be doing, we feel less and miss His words of commendation and what He may be trying to teach us.

When we commit to something at church, can others expect that we will finish the task? Or if we promise our kids to go somewhere with them, can they rest assured we will carry through? How about at work? Do we do what the boss says and do it to the best of our ability or do we slough off and do the bare minimum. God wants faithful servants who do their best. I am often reminded that the Lord sees our very motives and if we do things with a bad attitude, it rather forfeits the work we are doing.

Wouldn’t we all love to hear His words on judgement day, “Well done, thou good and faithful servant. Enter into the joy of your Master.”

Challenge for today: Ask the Lord to help you not to betray your commitments but to do them from a willing and loving heart.
Blessings on your day and prayers and love, Judy
