Reading: Matthew 25:14-30; 2 Timothy 4:6-8

Devotional: One day, every believer will stand before Christ at the judgment seat. Not for salvation—that's secured—but for accountability. Every record of your management will be reviewed: what you did with your time, your talents, your treasures. The only words that will matter in that moment are: "Well done, good and faithful servant." Not "well said" or "well intended" or "well planned"—well done. Faithfulness isn't perfection; it's consistency. It's showing up. It's being available. It's saying yes when God calls. Paul declared at life's end, "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith." Today, commit to being "Semper Fi"—always faithful. Not because you're earning salvation, but because you're grateful for it. Let eternity, not earthly success, measure your life.

Reflection Questions for the Week:

-In what area of my life am I being more shrewd for earthly things than eternal things?
-What "little" has God entrusted to me that I need to be more faithful with?
-How can I use my current resources to build eternal friendships?
-What would change if I truly believed everything I have belongs to God?
-When I stand before Christ, what do I want Him to find in my management records?
