1 Corinthians 4:1-3
Let a man so consider us, as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God. Moreover it is required in stewards that one be found faithful. But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged by you or by a human court. In fact, I do not even judge myself.
Paul chose the word steward because it referred to a person entrusted with his master’s goods. This individual had to have one quality above all others. Paul’s faithfulness was being questioned. Can you imagine the man God chose to write twelve or thirteen books of the New Testament being questioned? Probably, he was the one who accomplished more for missions than anyone ever born on the planet. His life was not lived for personal pleasure but for service to the King.
America was built by faithful people. They are credited for their faithfulness to their spouses, employers, families, institutions, nation and church. Our generation has been tremendously blessed by those of past generations who exhibited such a quality.
Like the Apostle Paul go out there today and be faithful in spite of what others might say.
Think about it.
