Chuck Swindoll said, “Leadership has more moments of the mundane
than the magnificent.” The dirty secret
of success in every arena of life is the ability to just show up. Day after
day. Week after week. Year after year.
The church and the world for that matter, is full of people who show spurts of greatness
only to yield to laziness or indifference or to get sidetracked by the latest
and greatest deal, or the new church down the block, or the next ministry
surge, or whatever. Yet the prize goes to those who just keep showing up and
who remain faithful when everyone else around them is flighty.
Talented quitters are a
dime a dozen but people who just show up and commit to hard work in the
day-to-day grind always stand out as the real winners of life. Those who follow through on their commitments
and who are faithful will be the ones who hear these words from Jesus, “Well done
thou good and faithful servant.” Are you
faithful?
