- And while they were going to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the marriage feast, and the door was shut. Matthew 25:10 – Christ is coming back, this is something we can have absolute assurance on. We just don’t know when that will be. Our passage hits on the decision we must make then knowing all this. Do we prepare for His return now or hold off and just plan on preparing last minute hoping that’s good enough? Jesus Himself directs us to prepare now. Get our hearts right, be sharing the love of Jesus today, spend time with Jesus today. Don’t let tomorrow be your go to time to begin living like the disciple you know you’ve been called to live like. It’s a simple question but one that may help, if Jesus were to return today would you be ready and would you be fine with Him coming as you are today? I love you, but Jesus loves you more – Mac – Daily DEVO 879
- His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master.’ Matthew 25:21 – What have you been entrusted with and are you being faithful with it? When I look at my own story, I’ve been entrusted with some big things. I’ve been blessed with a beautiful wife that I’m called to support in her pursuit of Jesus. I’ve been entrusted with two teenage daughters who have seen the evil of this world and I’m called to show them the beauty of Jesus, His love for them, and what a father is truly supposed to be. I’ve been called as a pastor and blessed with a church family that I’m supposed to wisely lead toward Jesus. I could go on about all the other relationships and blessings God has given me, but you get the point. Maybe money, as with our passage, isn’t what you’ve been blessed with, but you have been blessed. Those blessing God is calling you to steward well. If the blessing is a person, stewarding well means helping them to Jesus and all He has called them to. If it’s a thing, stewarding it well means using it to its full extent for the mission of reaching people for Jesus. Know even if it’s breath in your lungs, you’ve been blessed, and that breath has a purpose. Go out and use your blessings for the purposes of God. I love you, but Jesus loves you more – Mac – Daily DEVO 1975
