Scripture Union Daily Guide 9 September 2025 Outline
Notice the parallel between how a thief comes and the manner of the return of the Son of Man (Matthew 24:43,44). What are we expected to do (Matthew 24:44)? Also notice the description of the role that we have been given – servants. We are all servants, and the Master has entrusted us with responsibilities in His household. Two words in Matthew 24:45 describe how the servant is supposed to behave: faithful and wise. A faithful servant is one who remains loyal and steadfast to the task entrusted to him. A wise servant is one who shows experience, knowledge, and good judgment in the execution of his stewardship.
Notice the reward for such faithful and wise servant (Matthew 24:46,47), and contrast this with the servant described in Matthew 24:48-51. The wicked servant made an assumption (Matthew 24:48) and based his action/behaviour on this false assumption (Matthew 24:49). Certainly, an unpleasant ending awaits such a servant (2 Corinthians 5:10). How often do we make wrong assumptions regarding our responsibilities, relationships, or faith? What are the consequences of wrong assumptions?
Reflection
Reflect on your life. What are the assumptions that drive your behaviour and actions? Ask the Lord to enable you to remain wise and faithful to the responsibilities He has entrusted to you.
Insight
* Any new insight or reinforcement of what you already know?
Closing Prayer
Help me dear Lord to live up to Your expectation.
