Being FAITHFUL
ONE WHO IS FAITHFUL IN A VERY LITTLE IS ALSO FAITHFUL IN MUCH. And he said to him, “Well done, good servant! Because you have been faithful in a very little, you shall have authority over ten cities.”—Luke 16:10; 19:17
Faithfulness to God is our first obligation in all that we are called to do in the service of the gospel.—Iain H. Murray
Let us do our duty in our shop or in our kitchen, in the market, the street, the office, the school, the home, just as faithfully as if we stood in the front rank of some great battle and knew that victory for mankind depends on our bravery, strength, and skill.—Theodore Parker
Faithfulness is an everyday calling. It’s regular, it’s ordinary, it’s taking a really long view of the Christian life. It’s reshaping our desires for immediate fruit and committing to following Jesus for the long haul. It’s getting up every single day and believing that God is your treasure, that the gospel of Jesus is worth your every breath, and that he is enough. Faithfulness is doing this again tomorrow and the next day and ten years from now. Faithfulness is ordinary. It’s unremarkable. It plods. It is also precious in the sight of the God who works out lifelong sanctifying perseverance in your life for your good and his glory.—Glenna Marshall
The great thing is to be found at one’s post as a child of God, living each day as though it were our last, but planning as though our world might last a hundred years.—C.S. Lewis
It’s not what you do once in a while; it’s what you do day in and day out that makes the difference.—Jenny Craig
The measure of who we are is what we do with what we have.—Vince Lombardi
The question for each man is not what he would do if he had the means, time, influence and educational advantages, but what he will do with the things he has.—Hamilton Wright Mabie
Let us remember, there is One who daily records all we do for Him, and sees more beauty in His servants’ work than His servants do themselves... And then shall His faithful witnesses discover, to their wonder and surprise, that there never was a word spoken on their Master’s behalf, which does not receive a reward.—J.C. Ryle
I know of nothing which I would choose to have as the subject of my ambition for life than to be kept faithful to my God till death.—C. H. Spurgeon
Be faithful unto death, and I will give you the crown of life.—Revelation 2:10
