Faithful and Wise Servants

At this present time our Lord also looks for faithful and wise servants, because not only has He set us in a position to wait and watch, but He has also given us talents to use for Him. He has given us grace to minister to others and thus made us stewards. So our Lord added, "Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of meat in due season? Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing. Of a truth I say unto you, that he will make him ruler over all that he hath." Luke 12:42-44.
It is scarcely possible that language could convey more strikingly our Lord's approval of servants who care for His saints during His absence. It is faithfulness to Him to use for the benefit of His household the talents He has given us. It is also the path of wisdom, because it lays up treasure in heaven. To give seasonable aid to those who form "His household" during His absence is what distinguishes true from false profession of His name.
