Do 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
You need to be faithful in the small things. All big things are made of little things. For example, your body has various members; these members have various parts; and these parts have cells, which are made up of molecules. Vast as the ocean is, it is made up of drops; the drops are made up of molecules; and the molecules are made up of atoms. All the millions and billions of years that may have been or ever will be are made up of ages; the ages are made up of years; years are made up of days; days are made up of hours; and hours are made up of minutes and seconds. Everything big is made of something small. So, if you’ll be faithful in the small things, the big things will take care of themselves.
Do you know what the big things in life are made of? Little acts, little words, little thoughts. You can’t have the much without having the little. We need to ask God to grow our faithfulness. We must be faithful in the small things and the secret things because who we are in secret is who we are—nothing more; nothing less.
- What are the small things in life you often overlook? How will you view the small things differently moving forward?
- What are some of the ways you have seen the importance of the small things in life?

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.’”
