Are You Faithful in the Small Things?
“He who is faithful in what is least is faithful also in much; and he who is unjust in what is least is unjust also in much.”
Luke 16:10

Ponder This
Be faithful in the small things. Big things are made up of smaller things. One example is the ocean which is made up of many drops of water. And all of those drops of water are molecules. And all those molecules are atoms. Think of all the ages and ages of time. Time is made up of ages, but ages are made up of millenniums; and millenniums are made up of centuries; and centuries are made up of years; and years are made up of months; and months are made up of weeks, and weeks of days, and days of hours, and hours of minutes, and minutes of seconds, and seconds of milliseconds. Everything big is made up of something small.
That’s the way your life is. Your entire life is not just one or two big decisions; it is day by day. It is that honesty; it is that smile; it is that kindness; it is that warmth; it is that integrity. When you’re faithful in the little things, faithfulness in the big things follows.
- Who do you know that is faithful in the small things?
- Identify a moment or moments where you struggle to be faithful in something small.
Practice This
Write down the small responsibilities you have in a day and consider how you could be faithful in those things.
FOR YOUR GIFT TO THE MINISTRY
Front Porch Moments by Gayle Foster
WITH KEY INSIGHTS FROM HER FATHER, ADRIAN ROGERS
I try to unplug each morning with Jesus with just my rocking chair, my Bible, and a pen.
Having a secret place is very important because I know that Jesus is always there waiting for me. I know where I can find Him! His presence is everywhere, but there are places where it is so thick you can cut it with a knife. You may not even have a front porch, but there is a secret place for you as well. God’s invitations are for anyone who will respond. There is no more important request than the one found in Psalm 27:8: “My heart has heard You say, ‘Come and talk with Me.’ And my heart responds, ‘Lord, I am coming.’”
