21 October: Luke 12:39-48
Key Verse: Luke 12:43
Blessed is that slave whom his master will find at work when he arrives.
Devotion:
Whilst I would normally choose the verse at the beginning of this passage to remind us to be ready for anything, and ready for the day when Christ will return, I chose this verse to remind us of the level God chooses to love everyone.
Just as the master in this parable would be happy the slave is doing what they should be doing, God will be happy to find us doing what we should be doing when the time comes!
Why should he have to continually remind us to do the things he wishes from us? Why should he have to do so much just to try and get us to do what he asked of us in the beginning?
We should know what has to be done, be willing to listen and learn of what has to be done, and be willing to step forward and actually do what has to be done!
Points to ponder:
How much do you think God is asking of you?
Are you willing to step forward and do something for him?
