Thoughts on Today's Verse...
We want it all now! We don't want to have to wait for anything. But God has a principle that is absolutely vital: we will be entrusted with much only after we have been faithful with a little. So let's not discount those moral choices about "small and inconsequential matters." How we handle these reveals who we are and helps determine what we become.My Prayer...
Holy and Righteous Father, please give me wisdom to discern the way of faithfulness and righteousness in all my dealings. I want to be faithful in the small things that matter to the Kingdom and to my holiness so that I can be entrusted also with those larger things that matter. Please purify my heart and use my gifts and actions to bring you glory. In Jesus' name. Amen.
