"It Is Required In Stewards, That A Man Be Found Faithful."

GOD crowns faithfulness
(J.R. Miller, "The Shining Light")

"She has done what she could!" 
Mark 14:8

"It is required in stewards, that a man 
be found faithful." 1 Corinthians 4:2

It is not great things that GOD requires of us--
unless our mission is to do great things. 
HE only asks that we be faithful in the duties 
that come to our hand in our commonplace days. 

That means:
1. that we do all our work as well as we can;
2. that we serve well in all of our varied relationships of life;
3. that we stand heroically in our lot, resisting 
temptation and continuing true and loyal to GOD;
4. that we fulfill our mission in all ways according 
to the grace given unto us, using every gift and talent 
for the glory of GOD and the good of others.

The world crowns success.
God crowns faithfulness.

"Each one should use whatever gift 
he has received to serve others, faithfully 
administering GOD'D grace in its various 
forms." 1 Peter :10

"Well done, good and faithful servant! 
You have been faithful with a few things; 
I will put you in charge of many things. 
Come and share your master's happiness!" 
Matthew 25:23
