Good Steward ? Good Servant ?

Good Steward ? Good Servant ? Are we truly a good steward and a good servant for God ? My question is the time that God has given you, do you use it wisely or unwisely ? The parable of the servants who were given talents by their Master comes to mind . Matthew 25:14-46. Even start reading from the beginning of the Chapter for it all speaks the same message Matthew 25:1-46 are you using what God has given you wisely ?


From the time we sought and accepted Jesus Christ's forgiveness time was no longer ours to do with as we wanted to. Our time is God's time. We, who are His children, owe our time in service to the Lord. We are His servants. He bought and paid for us with the highest price , His precious blood at Calvary. Our time belongs to Him it is not our own. We are supposed to spend our time being in service to our God.

How do you spend the time God has given you ? Wisely ? Unwisely ? When you have time on your hands, how do you use it ? Do you go out and do things that bring you fleshly or worldly pleasures, pleasures that fulfill the lust of the flesh and mind ? Or do you spend that time serving the Lord by helping others or by studying your Bible, reading an inspirational book, in prayer, in quiet communion with the Lord ? There are so many ways to serve God by spending the time, wisely, that He has gifted you with.

Is your mind and heart truly set on serving the Lord ? This question will help you to answer the other question of, do you spend your time wisely or unwisely ? If your heart and mind are set on truly serving the Lord then you will spend your time wisely in service to the Lord. One has to examine them self to see where their heart truly lies. If one finds more pleasure by doing worldly things that satisfy the lust of the flesh and mind than they do in serving the Lord, then something is not right. Set your heart and mind on the Lord. God can and will give you what you need that fulfills what needs to be fulfilled. The things that truly are good are things of the Lord.

When the Lord comes back do you want to be as the 5 unwise, foolish virgins who did not prepare as they should have ? Do you want to be as the unwise servant who hid his talent instead of using it for his Masters service ? Or do you want to be as the 5 wise virgins and as the wise servants? They used their time wisely as befittingly they should have in service to their Lord and Master. Which of these people do you want the Lord God/Jesus Christ to see you as when He returns ?

I encourage each of you to spend your time wisely in service to God/Jesus as He asks us to. Be ever watchful for not one of us know when our time shall end and then we will have to give account of the time we spent, whether it was spent wisely or unwisely. The wise servants ,whom served their Master as they should have will enter in to the Kingdom but those unwise and foolish servants who chose to spend their time as they wanted to instead of serving the Master will be cast into hell and then into the Lake of Fire.

You are faced daily within every moment of everyday, that God has saw fit to give you, with making the choice of spending your time wisely or unwisely. Which way will you choose ? Be it wisely ? Be it unwisely ? The choice is yours, but remember whom you have to give account of your time to and whether you spent your time wisely or unwisely that He gave you to serve Him.


As is spoken in Joshua 24:15
15)And if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.
