We need to be good and faithful servants. Choosing to live our lives being a good steward so that in the end we will get to hear “well done, good and faithful servant”. Are you being a good steward of what you have been given? Are you using what you have with purpose, on purpose, and for God’s purpose?
Steward your time:
Start today using your time for good rather than for evil. Is your time being stewarded to accomplish the advancement of God’s plans? Is your time being used to complete the good works that God has prepared in advance for you to accomplish? Are you wasting or just spending your time away?
Steward your talents:
How about your talents? How are you using and applying your talents today? Be a good steward of your talents in order to bless people and glorify God. Are you using your talents to complete the good works God has prepared in advance for you to do? Are you wasting those talents on more materialistic things?
Steward your treasure:
Where are you investing your treasure? What would someone learn about your heart based on how you are using, investing, and spending your money? Are you investing your treasure in things that will last for eternity like people or things that will be burned up like shaft and not go into eternity?
Steward your testimony:
How about your words? Are you sharing your testimony so that others can hear of God’s goodness and praise our Heavenly Father through Jesus? Are you shining your light bright through your testimony or hiding under a bed or a bush that won’t benefit anyone?
So let’s choose to use our time, talent, treasure, and testimony to keep God’s Word and seek Him with all of our hearts.
