AT 25:21{AT 25:23{The servant who had only two talents to trade with, but traded faithfully with them, had just the same glorious words spoken to him as the servant who had five talents: "Well done, good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things... enter thou into the joy of thy lord." Think what it would be to hear the Lord Jesus saying that to you, really to you! Oh, how sweet! how blessed! How you would listen to that gracious voice saying those wonderfully gracious words to you! But could He say them to you? Are you "faithful over a few things"? He has given every one a few things to be faithful over, and so He has to you. Your "few things" may be very few, and very small things, but He expects you to be faithful over them. What is being faithful over them? It means doing the very best you can with them; doing as much for Jesus as you can with your money, even if you have very little; doing as much as you can for Him with your time. You sigh over this and think of how unfaithful you have been. You know you do not deserve for Him to call you "good and faithful servant." But come at once to your gracious Lord, and ask Him to forgive you for all the unfaithfulness and to make you faithful today. And then, even in small matters you will find it helpful to recollect, "Faithful over a few things.”
Only, O Lord, in Thy dear love fit us for perfect rest above; And help us, this and every day, to live more nearly as we pray.
In the service royal let us not grow cold;
Let us be right, loyal, noble, true and bold,
Master, Thou wilt keep us, by Thy grace divine,
Always on the Lord's side, Savior, always Thine!
