I’ve studied the Bible for many years. I’ve taught the Bible for many years. So for many years I have known the will of God. Not fully, of course, nor perfectly.

But this servant knows his Lord’s will — in English and in Spanish.

Now this morning I come to this:

“And that servant, which knew his lord’s will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes” (47).

So I’ve studied and taught and known. Good for me. But have I done?

Yes, I believe I have done and continue to do my Lord’s will.

Not fully, of course, nor perfectly.

But I continue to strive to do the will of the Master, reinforcing the strong places and strengthening the weak places.

That’s what He expects.

That’s what I want.
