Conclusion:
As I was finishing out my studies on this lesson, the sweet Holy Spirit of God led me across one of Charles Spurgeon’s devotional notes which I would like to share with you as we close out this morning’s lesson on faithfulness.
Mr. Spurgeon wrote these words in his devotional that struck my heart and I trust will do the same for yours…
The scripture passage he used for this devotion is found in I Corinthians 7:20 and here is what it says…
“Let every man abide in the same calling wherein he was called.” “Some persons have the foolish notion that the only way in which they can live for God is by becoming ministers, missionaries, or Bible women. Alas! how many would be shut out from any opportunity of magnifying the Most High if this were the case. Beloved, it is not office, it is earnestness; it is not position, it is grace which will enable us to glorify God. God is most surely glorified in that cobbler's stall, where the godly worker, as he plies the awl, sings of the Saviour's love, ay, glorified far more than in many a prebendal stall where official religiousness performs its scanty duties. The name of Jesus is glorified by the poor unlearned carter as he drives his horse, and blesses his God, or speaks to his fellow labourer by the roadside, as much as by the popular divine who, throughout the country, like Boanerges, is thundering out the gospel. God is glorified by our serving Him in our proper vocations. Take care, dear reader, that you do not forsake the path of duty by leaving your occupation, and take care you do not dishonour your profession while in it. Think little of yourselves, but do not think too little of your callings. Every lawful trade may be sanctified by the gospel to noblest ends. Turn to the Bible, and you will find the most menial forms of labour connected either with most daring deeds of faith, or with persons whose lives have been illustrious for holiness. Therefore be not discontented with your calling. Whatever God has made your position, or your work, abide in that, unless you are quite sure that he calls you to something else. Let your first care be to glorify God to the utmost of your power where you are. Fill your present sphere to His praise, and if He needs you in another He will show it you. This evening lay aside vexatious ambition, and embrace peaceful content.” I feel this devotional to be very fitting as we close out this lesson on the importance of our being
‘faithful children of God’, don’t you?!?
Yes, as our lesson’s theme verse reminds us this morning from I Corinthians 4:2,
“Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.” May you and I, as truly born again children of God, so choose to be found faithful unto he God who so loved us and gave Himself for us, that others might hear from our lips and see with their eyes, the proof that God really does love them and want them too to be saved and birthed into the Family of God for all eternity!
