Everything we do must be done within the context of eternity, living each day with a heart for quality and not for quantity, and approaching quality from the perspective of FAITHFULNESS. It is the faithful man who shall abound with blessings. “A faithful man will abound with blessings, But he who hastens to be rich will not go unpunished.
” (Proverbs 28:20) It is to your own advantage to understand that God views your work on earth in the eyes of eternity. Everything is about eternity. God’s vision extends beyond the scope of this life.
Ecclesiastes 3:11 says, “He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also He has put eternity in their hearts, except that no one can find out the work that God does from beginning to end.” The GNB Bible says, “He has given us the desire to know the future.

What then is God’s first priority for measuring the quality of our work? Faithfulness. Jesus in Matthew 25: 14-.
