Blessed Is The Servant
APRIL 18 & 19, 2026
Daily Reading—Judges 12-15 / Luke 13:1-17
WHAT GOD HAS SAID:
Luke 12:42-43 And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of meat in due season? Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.
WHAT I HAVE SEEN:
What is today’s passage in Luke 12 all about? Some look at it with fear of the outcome if they do not perform just right. Some read it and think it is about punishment for slackers. While others read over it, thinking it does not apply to them at all. I read it, maybe just a bit differently. I’m hung up on “Blessed is that Servant.”
I really am not concerned about not being prepared. I settled that when I asked Jesus into my heart. I am not even worried about not being rewarded. I am just thrilled I am in the story. “Blessed be the Servant.” It is my absolute privilege to serve the God of all the universe, and now He says to me, I am to be blessed. I am not trying to be a wise guy, but I am already blessed.

IF YOU ARE JOURNALING:
Ask yourself, what are MY THOUGHTS concerning this passage and today’s devotion?
Within this reading, do I find a CHALLENGE for my life?
What actions will I take today or this week to meet this CHALLENGE?
WHAT TO DO ON SUNDAY:
On Sundays, we encourage you to attend your local church and listen intently to what God has prepared in your pastor’s heart. Write down all the scriptures he uses in that message.
Then, when you get home, reread those passages for today’s reading.
God has given your pastor exactly what He desires for you to have on that day.
