“One who is faithful in a
very little is also faithful in much, and one who is dishonest in a
very little is also dishonest in much. If then you have not been
faithful in the unrighteous wealth, who will entrust to you the true
riches?”
It doesn’t seem like that long ago that my parents sent me off to
college at Hardin-Simmons University in Abilene, Texas. I met several
friends my first year who aspired to be pastors. Many of them talked
about how they’d love to have a nice big church and a powerful ministry
to thousands.
But there were some of these guys who had big visions for ministry, but
didn’t want to be faithful with the little they had. On many Sunday
mornings, they were the ones who slept through church. They weren’t
actively involved in any kind of ministry. It seemed like they wanted
all the benefits of being a great pastor without putting in any of the
work.
It’s not surprising then that today, I never hear about any of those
guys. That’s because the biblical adage is true that whoever is faithful
with a little will be faithful with much. That’s why God will rarely
entrust much to those whom aren’t first faithful with the little He
gives them.
Whether in your career, at home, or in ministry, be faithful with the
little you have now. Doing so will prepare you to be faithful in
abundance if God chooses to bless you. Practice faithfulness in the
small things today for the big things tomorrow!
BE FAITHFUL WITH A LITTLE TODAY TO PREPARE YOUSELF FOR ABUNDANCE TOMORROW!
