May 3 - Can He Count on You?
"And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his lord
shall make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of meat in
due season?"
(Luke 12:42)

Dear Addison,
We often praise God for His faithfulness. We're thankful that we can always
count on Him to be there for us. But we rarely consider the fact that He needs
us to be faithful too.
It's true. God needs people He can count on. He needs faithful and wise
stewards He can trust over His household. In this final hour, He needs faithful
believers to team up with, to manifest Himself in the earth more than ever
before.
"Oh Gloria, God doesn't need me!"
Yes, He does. Ever since the Creation, when He gave man dominion over the
earth, He's needed people to work with Him to get His will done here. You can
see that all through the Bible. When the children of Israel were in bondage
in Egypt and He wanted to lead them out, He teamed up with a man, Moses, to
get the job done. Moses' responsibility was to stretch out his hand in the
earth and command the will of God to be done.
Why did He choose Moses? Because He needed someone who was faithful and would
dare to act on His Word. He needed someone He could count on, and He knew
Moses was that kind of man.
Psalm 103:7 says, "He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the
children of Israel." If Moses hadn't been faithful to know God's ways, the
children
of Israel would never have seen God's acts!
God needs you just as He needed Moses. He needs you to be faithful and alert
to spiritual things. He needs you to be someone He can trust to know His Word
and be obedient to it. He needs you to be a steward who will stretch out his
hand like Moses did so that He can perform signs and wonders before the people.
Will you be faithful? It's a decision you have to make. No one can do it for
you. Right now, commit yourself to be that wise and faithful servant. Say
in your heart and with your mouth, "God, You can count on me."
