Scripture: Luke 16:10
“Whoever is faithful in a very little is faithful also in much; and whoever is dishonest in a very little is dishonest also in much.
Thought for the Day: I think there is something within the human ego that wants to be faithfully in the big stuff, and often forgets about the little things. Dr. Fred Craddock (great preacher and teacher of preachers) wrote years ago, “How many of us have had an opportunity this week to christen a ship, write a book, win a war, appoint a cabinet, dine with the queen, convert a nation, or be burned at the stake? More likely we have had only the small doors open to us, doors that permitted such grand acts as giving a cup of water, visiting in a nursing home, writing a note to a lonely person, speaking a Christian word to someone confused and distressed, kissing a child’s skinned elbow, going to choir practice, and feeding the neighbor’s cat. How easy it is to overlook this small stuff, while waiting for the big opportunity to go down in history as a great Christian.” Those whose names are known among the saints are those who never saw any difference between the significant and the insignificant…a lot like God.
Prayer: Call me into your service, O Lord, even if the task won’t have any press coverage. Amen.
