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.Luke 16:10
You will do as you are in your heart. If your heart craves personal attention and selfish desire at any cost, if you have no limits, if you seek yourself first in all the small details, this will all burst out inevitably into all the bigger issues of your life. If you lie easily in a small detail, you will be dishonest and lie in the clutch moments that matter most.
And the converse is also true. If you are faithful, obedient, trusting Christ, honest, quick to repent and believe Jesus in the small things, this character will find faithfulness in you in the big situations. If you allow the Word of God and the Spirit of God to renew your thinking, You will approach life with God’s faithfulness bringing You peace, confidence, and the satisfaction of God’s pleasure in relationship with you.
This is Jesus speaking out this principle... He knows our hearts! It is rewarding to be honest and faithful to the Lord. Our lives are better when we trust God with the small stuff. Faithfulness is rewarded in big ways. The heart of a good steward of the kingdom starts with the simplest desire to be faithful in EACH level of trust so that faithfulness will be known in EVERY level of trust given to us by God. Faithful with a dime means faithful with a dollar. And that is a kingdom-building generous lifestyle worth enjoying!
