Luke 16:10
10 He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much.
The word "faithful" means one who can be trusted. Trust is a huge issue for so many of us. People have made promises in the past and let us down. We thought we were hearing the truth only to find out it was lies. Our hearts have been broken by someone who vowed to stay with us forever. No wonder so many of us have trust issues today.
If we look at this verse, we see that we must be faithful---trustworthy---with something small before we can trusted with something larger. Jesus trusts us with more than earthly gain. He trusts us to share the gospel with others. And He trusts us with things of great importance--faith, salvation, the blessings He bestows.
We are expected to obey God in big things and small things. Integrity is tested every day as we associate with the world. Things like when we say, "I'm on my way" when we know we haven't left the house yet. But if we want to be trusted by God, we must prove ourselves trustworthy in the little things first. Then He will trust us with the larger things. But, then, who can we trust with the big and small things?
We know that Jesus is always worthy of our trust and will never let us down. Many times we are fearful to trust Him but know that He doesn't make a difference in small or big things. If it is important to you, He will hear your prayers and your concerns. It is then our turn to be faithful. Let us strive each day to prove ourselves trustworthy to Him.
As we go through the day, let us remember that we can always trust God no matter the circumstances and we must be faithful in the small things!!
