Devotion:
Read Job 1:18-19.
Job’s sons and daughters were enjoying a great time feasting and celebrating at home when suddenly a powerful wind swept in, hit the house, and killed them all. This is a sad and tragic ending to the children of Job, known as a blameless and upright man. What happened to Job’s children is a reminder to all of us just how suddenly life in this world can end. I’m reminded of the tragic death of my brother. One day he was enjoying life as a good husband, father, church leader, and businessman. The next day he died in a tragic accident. Fortunately, he was a faithful follower of Jesus who was ready to meet his Lord. It is vital that we are always prepared for our lives to end at any moment. Once you’ve accepted Christ as your Lord and Savior, being ready to meet the Lord means living in a way that pleases him so that whenever your time on earth is over —and knowing that could be any time—you can hear him say, “Well done, good and faithful servant!”
Personal Worship Option:
Consider what the words from Matthew 25:23 mean, “Well done, good and faithful servant.” Make sure you have accepted Christ as both your Savior and the Lord of your life. And then go into the world and “Serve the Lord with gladness!” (Psalm 100:2)
