His Lord said to him, “Well done, you good and faithful servant: you have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things: enter into the joy of the Lord." - Matthew 25:21
God tests the righteous (Psalm 11:5) and there is great reward when we pass those tests.
I was having lunch at a restaurant and there were a couple of young men sitting at the table next to me. One of the men got up and went to the rest room, and I watched as his companion reached over and helped himself to some of the other man’s french fries.
I immediately came up with this scenario. What if these men were both about to apply for a job and were having lunch together before their interviews? And what if I was the boss of the company that was conducting those interviews? Which of those two men would I consider hiring? The one I saw stealing the other man’s food? Of course not, he wouldn’t be consider for an instant. If he was that dishonest in a little, he could not be trusted with much. The other man would have gotten the job. Likewise, God sees our actions and we are rewarded accordingly.
Let us never lose sight of this fact, and let it be a factor in guarding our behavior to others in our walk with the Lord. The Boss is watching.
