Read Joshua 5, Proverbs 20, 1 Corinthians 4
What have you been entrusted with? Was it a materialistic object like something valuable or sentimental. Or maybe you were entrusted with a person to look after them like babysitting a child. As Christians we have also been given a trust. In 1 Corinthians 4 Paul says, “Now it is required that those who have been given a trust must prove faithful. 3 I care very little if I am judged by you or by any human court; indeed, I do not even judge myself. 4 My conscience is clear, but that does not make me innocent. It is the Lord who judges me” vv. 2-4. AS servants of Christ we have been given a trust to guard and share the gospel of Jesus with others and to invite them to join us in His kingdom work.
According to these verses our first job is to prove “faithful.” We must stay the course and hold fast to the gospel in which have placed our trust. Second, we must realize that we are not judged by the world in the end, we are judged by God. Sure, people will judge us, but the only judgement that counts is that of the Lord. What specifically has God given you as a trust today? Are you being a faithful servant with whatever it is?
