If God will give lifting to any man, He will look into the level of his responsible attitude. When God was looking down from heaven, to search for a king in place of Saul the king, He found David. Responsibility is one of the things He must have seen in him (1 Samuel 16:1).
So many people today, even Christians, don’t want to be responsible for anything in their lives; they cannot be trusted. They are as careless as anything. They even want to use church services as excuses for not doing their work well in the office or at home. Yes, it is good and important to be in the house of the Lord, but it is also necessary that your work is well-planned and not mocked.
David was not just like any careless person. When the father sent him to his brother, he gave the charge to watch over the sheep to another shepherd who would be able to take care of them. This is a sense of responsibility. Please, whatever you are given to do, do it with a heart of responsibility. Let God find you faithful. Don’t just be absent from the office at will.
Do you know that it is a robbery to be paid for a time that you are not working? God will only avenge all disobedience against you when your obedience is completed (2 Corinthians 10:6). And favour shall answer to you.
PRAYER: LORD, HELP ME TO BE RESPONSIBLE WHEREVER I AM COMMITTED.
“A SENSE OF RESPONSIBILITY IS A SENSE OF MATURITY”
