Matthew 25:21 His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
2 Timothy 2:12 If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us:
I don’t honestly know exactly what this means. I do not know how it will happen. I do not know where it will happen. I am not even sure why it should happen. But since I am told it will happen if I am obedient and faithful, then isn’t everything that I experience in obedience of faith part of my training? Am I not being prepared?
What do I need to know to be well equipped for that day? How is my intimate relationship with the Holy Spirit going to train me for that day? Is this life I live in the Lord now basic training? When will I graduate? Will I graduate with honors?
Do we have a responsibility to our Lord to do more than sit back and relax and bathe in His mercy and grace?
Romans 12:1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
Let’s be reasonable here, today.
The whole tone of your post today, summed up in my mind, is this–a beautiful example of FAITH–it revels in the wonderful results without worrying about the “hows and whys”.
Yes Ron, I am comforted by it.
