STILL WORKING

READ:

His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
-Matthew 25:23

THE BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:
1 Samuel 25-26
Luke 12:32-59

Vivian and Don are in their mid-90s and have been married more than 70 years. Recently, Vivian suffered a setback when she broke her hip. This has been additionally difficult because for several years both Don and Vivian have been saddened by the realisation that they are no longer strong enough to be active in life and work of their church.
However, Vivian and Don are still hard at work for the Lord: They are prayer warriors. While they may not always be physically present and visible in the life of the church, they are faithful "behind the scenes" in their service for Him.
The parable of the talents in Matthew 25 reminds us that we must use the "talents" God has given us wisely. All of us have God-given skills and abilities at various levels - and we must not bury, unused, what God has given us.
It is not only in our years of strength that God will use us, but also in our youth and age, as well as in our sickness and weakness. Vivian and Don continue to serve by praying. And like them, we honour our Saviour by using our skills - "each according to his own ability" (v.15) to serve Him who is worthy. - Dave Branon
Lord, You have done so much for me. Please show me what I can do to serve You - to honour You with the abilities You have provided. May my life be a living sacrifice of love and action for Your honour.

God can use you at any age - if you are willing.
