The Blue Ribbon

Friday. Luke 19: 11-27.

Faithfulness rates highest in God’s school. We have different abilities and gifts. Some can do things that others can’t, and some can do things better than others can. But the highest marks in God’s school at examination time are not given to ability but to faithfulness. Faithfulness doesn’t mean being full of faith. It means that God can have faith in you that you’ll be true to him — persistently, consistently true to him.
