The Accounting of the Faithful
Scripture
There need be no accounting made with them of the money delivered into their hand, because they deal faithfully.
(2 Kings 22:7)
Devotional
These are the kinds of business people we are to be. And these are the kinds of people with whom we wish to do business. But it is rare to find such people. How refreshing it is to find people who are truly trustworthy, people who give, at the very least, eight hours work for eight hours pay. Better yet is it to be one who gives more than what is required.
God and man are looking for a people who are willing to serve and serve faithfully: a people who are so trustworthy that an accounting of their activities is not necessary. However, what we will find is that those who need not give an account, do so out of their integrity. They are faithful stewards of all that is placed in their care. They are prudent not only with their possessions, but more so with the possessions of others. They come early and stay late. They get the job done in a timely manner. They make no excuses, but take all the responsibility. They simply deal faithfully.
