Faithful In Little Things

Faithfulness hinges upon what we value as important combined with commitment. Humans have a powerful tendency to be faithful to what they think is truly important. Today we want to focus on faithfulness in the small or little things. Faithfulness in little things is a big thing to God.

A lot depends on the small things. A person’s attention is usually taken up by bigger, more noticeable things. People do not like turning their attention on small things. However, little things have the potential to grow into something big only if you know how to care for it. Every little thing can grow into something big only if you know how to look after it. It depends on your ability to care for the small things. In fact, it takes a big person to be willing to do the small thing.

Do you know how to care for the little things? Do you look carefully after the little things in life? Every small thing has potential for greatness. Nobody is born big. God does not give anybody a lot straight away. Why? He wants to test each one of us to see if we can be faithful — faithful even in the smallest things.

God rewards, not success, but faithfulness. What we need to ask is, not how successful you are, but how faithful you are?

Prayer: Dear Lord, I thank You for how You use the small things. Just like how a slingshot and five stones in the hands of a teenage boy could lead to a conquest of an oppressor, I slow myself down to appreciate and thank You for the little things in my life. I put my faith in the small things, see beyond what they are today, and what they can become tomorrow. In Jesus’ name, I pray, Amen!
