DAILY READINGS: 2 Chronicles 21:1-22:1-12; Ezekiel 40:1-49; John 17:1-26

And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come. But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, saying, We will not have this man to reign over us. Luke 19:13-14

The master was gone establishing a kingdom and he left his servants to manage his affairs while he was away. He gave them the necessary provisions, but the environment was hostile. Would they be diligent about the master’s business in spite of opposition, in spite of not knowing the date of his return? Would they faithfully uphold the master’s honour, or would they seek their own? Will we occupy until He returns? Yes, even so, come Lord Jesus. —D. Pickup

Have we been true to the trust He left us? Do we seek to do our best?
If in our hearts there is naught condemns us, we shall have a glorious rest. —Fanny J. Crosby
