Be Faithful with Little
Today's Scripture
"He who is faithful in a very little [thing] is faithful also in much, and he who is dishonest and unjust in a very little [thing] is dishonest and unjust also in much" (Luke 16:10, AMP)
Today's Word from Joel and Victoria
Many people today are not experiencing Gods favor like they should simply because theyre not passing what I call, the small test. We have to be faithful with the little things in our lives before God will entrust us with bigger things. For example, being excellent in the workplace for you may not mean some huge adjustment. It may just mean leaving ten minutes earlier so you can get to work on time. It may mean not complaining when your supervisor asks you to do something. It may mean not making personal phone calls on company time. You might think, Its just a small thing. Nobody knows. Its not hurting anything. But the Scripture says, Its the little foxes that spoil the vines. Dont let the seemingly small things keep you from the big things God has in store. No, its time to come up higher. Its time to be faithful, even when nobodys looking I encourage you today to make the decision to come up higher. Choose to be faithful with the little things so that God can bless you and make you ruler over much!
A Prayer for Today
Heavenly Father, I choose to be faithful in all things. I repent right now for anything that Ive done that has been displeasing to You. Help me by Your Holy Spirit to rise up higher so that I can be ready to embrace all You have for me. In Jesus Name. Amen.
