Faithful in Little Things (Part One)

Luke 16:10
"He who is faithful in a very little thing is faithful also in much; and he who is unrighteous in a very little thing is unrighteous also in much."

  • Are you trustworthy?
  • Can others count on you?
  • Do you want to know how to be original in a culture of copycats?
  • Do you want to be a part of a vanishing breed in today's generation?

    If so, then become a person who is faithful. You know, a person who follows through. One whom others can count on whether things are rough or smooth. His word is good on the little stuff, as well as the mammoth, gargantuan tasks. He's the kind of person who promises to call-and does so-on time. He says he'll do it and he does-exactly like you have asked for it to be done.

    Are you known as a faithful person? If you are, then here are a few of the words that can be used to describe you: Trustworthy, dependable, reliable, true-blue and responsible. All of the names are saturated with one recurring theme, character. Character quietly, yet convincingly, says, "You can count on me-at any cost!"

    Faithfulness. Strange, isn't it, that such a simple thing would be in such short supply?

    Today, our oatmeal is ready to eat in 60 seconds, our pictures can be developed in 60 minutes and our houses can be built in 60 days. We are a culture that is used to getting what we want instantly. We aren't accustomed to working patiently, or waiting on anything-even a hamburger.

    I meet a lot of men who desire to have more responsibility and move up the ladder of success. Many of them, however, want to jump to the top of that ladder rather than climb it. They want you to be impressed with their talent and their skills of persuasion rather than with their faithfulness.

    Prayer: That God would build in you a spirit of servanthood and faithfulness.

  • Discuss: Are you faithful in little things or do you often seem to neglect them?
