FOUND FAITHFUL

This week I had the chance to have an informal session (or should I call it a mentorship session so that it sounds more powerful) with a director of a great company in the making. He narrated his personal journey since clearing campus. As the conversation carried on, he went to the depths of the  kind of jobs he has done along the way, despite being an engineer.

"Didn't you feel the pressure of having to look for engineering experience?' I probed. His response caught my attention. While he admitted that the pressure was there he pointed to the fact that not everyone who clears from campus gets the opportunity to practise engineering as they hoped, but what is most important is that when something else comes your way and you consciously decide to take it;then you should do it faithfully, without grumbling or complaining. He challenged me to give everything my best and quipped that God blesses  faithfulness. As He spoke, I was reminded of what Martin Luther King Jnr said

If a man is called to be a street sweeper, he should sweep streets even as Michelangelo painted, or Beethoven composed music, or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say, here lived a great street sweeper who did his job well.

I was also reminded of the Scripture in  Luke 16:10-12New International Version (NIV)

¹⁰ “Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much. ¹¹ So if you have not been trustworthy in handling worldly wealth, who will trust you with true riches? ¹² And if you have not been trustworthy with someone else’s property, who will give you property of your own?

 From personal reflections  and general observations, I am of the conviction that each day we are doing a faithfulness test; in that, God entrusts us with another's before He can entrust us with our own. oh that we may be found faithful in the places that God has entrusted us. If you want to be entrusted with more(which i know you do;I do too) be faithful with the little. Be faithful in anothers'.

I do not insinuate that one should dwindle their dreams. What I am vouching for is faithfulness at that which we commit to doing. Look for greener pastures, Yes, but do not overlook on those that you are standing on.  
I pray that we will be the kind that will get the Master's applause of the good and faithful servant who was faithful in little and now being entrusted with much.
