DAY 6 OF 7

Why the Little Things Matter

Faithfulness doesn’t just apply to the “big things” in life. God cares about the heart, so even the small things matter. In fact, a truly faithful heart will be diligent in all things, not just those that are seen by others. 

That’s why Jesus said the small things are a gauge to determine whether someone is worthy of greater blessing and responsibility (see today’s reading). He also spoke about being faithful in handling what belongs to other people. He said that if you don’t take care of their things, you won’t be entrusted with your own. That means if you want more nice things to enjoy, you need to check up on how you’re treating the resources of others. 

How well are you caring for the equipment that belongs to your employer, for instance? Are you treating the desk, truck or whatever else your employer has provided you, with respect? Are you treating them as if you had to pay for their upkeep and repair out of your own pocket? 

If you’re believing for a home of your own, but right now you’re still renting, how well are you taking care of your rental house or apartment? Are you being careless with it and tearing it up, or are you treating it as if it belonged to you? 

Those are important questions because your faithfulness in such matters has everything to do with your increase! 

If you’re believing for a better job, set yourself up for increase by being faithful in the job you have. If you want to be a brain surgeon, but right now, you’re waiting tables and saving money so you can go to school, wait on those tables the very best you can. Even though it might seem like a little thing to you, Jesus told us to be faithful in the little things. So, be a blessing to everyone who comes into that restaurant. 

Be faithful in the small things. Demonstrate to God that you are worthy and capable of handling even more. He has so much He wants to give to you!
