Tell Me a Story: Devotions From Time of Grace MinistrySample

STORY #2: Internship “Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with little will also be dishonest with much. So if you have not been trustworthy in handling worldly wealth, who will trust you with true riches? And if you have not been trustworthy with someone else’s property, who will give you property of your own?” (Luke 16:10-12). Jesus sees as a real spiritual sickness our tendency to hoard and spend for our own comforts and pleasures in the short term. We’re in training right now--think of it as an internship. The Lord is always preparing you for bigger things. That’s why it is so important to cultivate integrity. "Integrity" means that you’re all of one piece; that your principles are not for sale; that you treat high and low alike; that your word is good; that you are honest in public and in private, in big things and in little things; and that you don’t show favoritism. Every successful business depends on leadership development. Isn’t it interesting that God is also so intensely interested in leadership development? How are you coming along?
