Walk in a manner worthy of the Lord
so as to be fully pleasing in every good work,
bearing fruit and growing in the knowledge of God.
COLOSSIANS 1:10
You are regarded as a servant of Christ and steward of the mysteries of God (1 Cor 4:1). Now it is of course required of stewards that they be found trustworthy (1 Cor 4:2).
Jesus said, "To to everyone who has, more will be given and he will grow rich; but from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away. (Mt 25:29)
The Lord entrusted you with His possesions according to your ability (Mt 25:14-15). Be faithful in small matters and He will give you great responsibilities. Do it well and you shall share His joy (Mt 25:21,23). Put His money in the bank so that He can have it back with interest on His return (Mt 25:27).
Every good work comes from the Lord alone. Neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God, who causes the growth (1 Cor 3:6). He who plants and he who waters are one, and each will receive wages in proportion to his labor. For we are God’s co-workers; you are God’s field, God’s building (1 Cor 3:8-9).
Pray and ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of God’s will through all spiritual wisdom and understanding, strengthened with every power, in accord with His glorious might, for all endurance and patience, with joy (Col 1:9,11). Progress even more to aspire to live a tranquil life, to mind your own affairs, and to work with your own hands (1 Thes 4:10-11).
The Lord has done wondrous deeds; His right hand has won victory for Him, His holy arm (Ps 98:1). Trust in the Lord and do good, that you may dwell in the land and enjoy security (Ps 37:3). Give thanks to the Father who has made you fit to share in the inheritance of the holy ones in light (Col 1:12).
