February 7th - The Lord My Portion by Watchman Nee[i]For it is as when a man, going into another country, called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods.[/i] Matthew 25.14. This will be a test to the servants, because the servants may be faithful in the presence of the Lord, but true faithfulness will be seen only when the Lord is absent. The Lord delivers His goods to them for them to manage His property. The same is true with us today. The Lord has delivered His goods to us, and we are now serving the Lord whom we do not see. Here in Matthews account the Lord is recorded as not instructing these servants what to do with His goods. He wants us to seek His will and do accordingly. Whoever knows the Lords will and does it is fit to be rewarded. Not telling the servants what to do is a real test.
