It is required in stewards that one be found faithful. —1 Corinthians 4:2

In all the little things of life,
Yourself, Lord, may I see;
In little and in great alike,
Help me to faithful be!

God doesn't ask us to be successful but to be faithful.

Faithfulness Required

Read: 1 Corinthians 4:1-5,14-20

It is required in stewards that one be found faithful. —1 Corinthians 4:2

Bible In One Year: 1 Samuel 25-26; Luke 12:32-59

Much of our attention and praise is directed toward highly visible and successful people. But occasionally we read about an ordinary, obscure person being honored for many years of faithful service. It may be a school custodian, a cafeteria worker, a handyman, or a clerk in a store who has served others in a dependable and unselfish way.

That kind of reliability often goes unnoticed, but I believe it's a powerful picture of how we are to live. Although consistency may not be flashy, days add up to a life of great significance to God.

Paul wrote, "It is required in stewards that one be found faithful" (1 Corinthians 4:2). If we live faithfully for Christ, God has promised to reward us at His appointed time. When the Lord comes, He "will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness and reveal the counsels of the hearts. Then each one's praise will come from God" (v.5).

When we long for success, God says, "I will reward you."

When we ache for recognition, God says, "I see you."

When we are ready to quit, God says, "I will help you."

Whether our service is public or private, our responsibility is the same—to be faithful. —David McCasland

In all the little things of life,
Yourself, Lord, may I see;
In little and in great alike,
Help me to faithful be! —Anon.

God doesn't ask us to be successful but to be faithful.

What a wonderful tribute to a great man. President Bush made so many great appointments when he took office. God bless this administration.

Thanks for the post, dansagnel.

Dansy! This thread is WONDERFUL! I love what you did with it, and the topic of course is excellent! Especially love this picture of Rummy you used in your first ping post!

Kudos, Sister! Way to go, good job, you done good, and all that! :)

Three cheers for Donald Rumsfeld!

RAH! RAH! RAH!

GO RUMMY!!!

Gotta believe that if we had had a man like Rummy and GW in charge back in the days of MacNamera and Johnson, things would have gone a lot differently.

Our Armed Forces today are fortunate to have their leadership.

Have a good day y'all.

Nice to see you today, ru. :) MGBYEB

I'm a little late to this thread, but I have to say thank you! Rummy is one of my faves! The way he handles the press in his "not gonna take your BS" way is just awesome!

By the way, I love the poetic side to our Secretary of Defense.
