I am quite sure if you asked any one of my four children today the one word their Dad instilled in them and insisted upon, they would answer "faithfulness" --- faithfulness to the house of God every time the doors were open---Sunday morning, Sunday night, Wednesday night and every night of revival! I'm sure they remember Dad saying many times -- when you stand before God at the judgment, He is going to ask you two things---"Have you been good? Have you been faithful?"
"Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy Lord."
I like these words from J. H. Jowett --
"People who are faithful in that which is least wear very radiant crowns. They are the people who are great in little tasks. They are scrupulous in the rutty roads of drudgery. They win triumphs amid small irritations. They are as loyal when wearing aprons in the kitchen as if they wore purple and fine linen in the visible presence of the king.
They finish the most obscure bit of work as if it were to be displayed before an assembled heaven by Him who is the Lord of light and glory. Great souls are those who are faithful in that which is least." And our Lord said in Revelation 2:10 --
"Be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life."
