Are you good and faithful in God eyes today?

Have you ever taken time to think about what makes someone good and faithful in God eyes. In Matthew 25:14-30 we find Jesus telling how we can live a good and pleasing life in God's eyes.

The first thing we should note is that both goodness and faithfulness are connected in God view. If you have one then you will have the other. God's definition of 'good and faithful' is stewardship, taking care of what He has given us. This raises the question of how do we take care of what God has given us? Well we can see from this story that it isn't just returning what God has given us, He expects more. It also is not doing the same as everyone else.

Good stewardship consists of at least duplicating or doubling what God has given us. As we look at our gift of salvation, have we helped at least one other person come to a saving knowledge Jesus? We are to be reproducing ourselves as much as possible, making disciples and this is what pleases God.

Are you good and faithful in God eyes today? If not we all have a chance to become so starting now.
