Greater Responsibility

Scripture: 10 “The one who manages the little he has been given with faithfulness and integrity will be promoted and trusted with greater responsibilities. But those who cheat with the little they have been given will not be considered trustworthy to receive more. 11 If you have not handled the riches of this world with integrity, why should you be trusted with the eternal treasures of the spiritual world? 12 And if you’ve not been proven faithful with what belongs to another, why should you be given wealth of your own? 13 It is impossible for a person to serve two masters at the same time. You will be forced to love one and reject the other. One master will be despised and the other will have your loyal devotion. It is no different with God and the wealth of this world. You must enthusiastically love one and definitely reject the other.” (Luke 16:10-13 The Passion) Jesus is once again saying that following Him, being a child of God, requires that we have the proper priorities in our lives. We put Him first, but we also live with faithfulness and integrity in the world that we live in. We really can’t expect to be given greater responsibility in the spiritual world if we are not living with faithfulness and integrity in the world that we live in. Father, You know that has been our desire; to live with faithfulness and integrity. You have helped us and I know that You will continue to help as we keep our hearts open before You. AMEN Lord, I want to never forget that You work wonders for me as one of Your devoted lovers. I know that You hear and answer my prayers. Thank You. Psalm 4
