28. Then Peter began to say to Him, “See, we have left all and followed You.”
29. So Jesus answered and said, “Assuredly, I say to you, there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or lands, for My sake and the gospel’s,
30. “who shall not receive a hundredfold now in this time — houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and lands, with persecutions — and in the age to come, eternal life.

TODAY’S DAILY FOUNTAIN STUDY:
I listened carefully as my friend explained why he was relieving his personal driver of his job. “He is so unfaithful”, he said. “He cheats even when you give him money to put petrol in the car.” He went on to talk about other experiences he had with the driver. As humans, we expect faithfulness: In marriage people do not expect their spouses to cheat; employers expect their employees to be faithful; in general, individuals expect faithfulness from those around them. It is interesting to note that we expect this from others, even when we are not faithful ourselves. The weightier matter is that God expects faithfulness from us too.
As a matter of fact, faithfulness is not just an expectation of God from us; it is a “requirement” (v.2). It is “required in stewards that one be found faithful.” We are stewards of God’s grace; we are stewards of God’s mercy; we are stewards of God’s gifts and talents. We must not administer them as if everything ends with us. Faithfulness is a requirement in kingdom service. Are you faithful in what God has committed into your hands? Whether it is human or material resources, God will require us to give account eventually to Him how we faired. He will not necessarily reward quantity of work; He will reward faithfulness in how you served. Remember it is not men that will judge you; He who judges is the Lord (v.4).
PRAYER: O for a heart to be faithful, O Lord.
