 | Unless you are faithful in small matters, you won’t be faithful in large ones. ~ Luke 16:10 (NLT) |
A young preacher once approached Dr. F. B. Meyer (preacher, commentator and contemporary of D.L. Moody) and asked how he could one day become as influential and well-known as Dr. Meyer. Dr. Meyer responded, “Don’t waste your time waiting and longing for large opportunities which may never come. But faithfully handle the little things that are always claiming your attention.”
Rick Warren writes, "God will never exempt you from the mundane. It’s a vital part of your character curriculum. It is in these small services that we grow like Christ.
Jesus specialized in menial tasks that everyone else tried to avoid: washing feet, helping children, fixing breakfast, and serving lepers. Nothing was beneath him, because he came to serve. It wasn’t in spite of his greatness that he did these things but because of it."
Preparation precedes performance. David spent years tending sheep and fighting off lions and bears before his triumph over Goliath and eventual appointment to be king.
Great opportunities often disguise themselves in small tasks.
The little things in life determine the big things.
