HE THAT WAITETH ON HIS MASTER SHALL BE HONOURED.

 

July 10

Proverbs 27:18 

Whoso keepeth the fig tree shall eat the 

fruit thereof: so he that waiteth on

 his master shall be honoured. 

And who is our master but Jesus?

 One is your master, even Christ.
 
We have chosen to serve Him, because He chose to save us.
 
He has given us the knowledge of salvation by the remission of our sins, that we may serve Him without fear, in righteousness and holiness all the days of our lives.
 
Our happiness is found in obeying our Master’s word, and studying our Masters will.
 
Let us wait on Him for the word of command, nor dare to proceed without it.

Let us wait on Him for ability, to do and suffer all His righteous will.
 
Let us wait His time for every promised blessing, and continue looking in faith until we receive it.
 
Let us expect to live at His table, and wait on Him for a supply of all our needs, both spiritual and temporal.

Let us wait on Him for ability, to do and suffer all His righteous will.
 
Let us wait on Him in private, and in public always form a part of His retinue.
 
He will honour us, for He has said, “If any man serve me, let him follow; and where I am, there shall also my servant be; if a man serve me, him will my Father honor.”

We shall know the truth, and the truth shall make us free; and all such are free indeed.

That wisdom, Lord, I may bestow

From every evil to depart;

To stop the mouth of every foe,

While upright both in life and heart,

The proofs of godly fear I give,

And show them how true Christians live.
