Faithful in the Little Things

Pause & Reflect

Jesus said: “He who is faithful in a very little is faithful also in much.” We often imagine faithfulness in dramatic terms. A great assignment. A visible ministry. A significant opportunity. But Jesus points toward the small things. How you handle today's responsibility matters. The email you said you would send. The money entrusted to you. The promise you made. The work nobody applauds. The person depending upon you. Character is often developed before opportunity expands. We sometimes ask God for “more” while neglecting what is already in our hands. Faithfulness asks a different question: “What has God entrusted to me today?” Then it handles that assignment well. Small does not mean insignificant.
