Often, it's the small, everyday actions that build our character and shape our integrity. When we commit to doing the right thing in minor tasks, we develop a habit of faithfulness that lasts a lifetime.

Jesus highlighted this in the parable of the Talents, where He praised the servant who was faithful with a few things and promised to put him in charge of many things. God values our faithfulness in the seemingly insignificant aspects of life. It’s when we demonstrate our trustworthiness and readiness for more.

Luke 16:10 (NASB): says, ”He who is faithful in a very little thing is faithful also in much; and he who is unrighteous in a very little thing is unrighteous also in much." This verse encourages us to maintain our integrity and diligence in all tasks. Then, we align ourselves with God’s expectations and prepare for more significant opportunities to serve Him.

Quote

Do every small thing, knowing it’s all being done for God.

Prayer

Lord, help me take the time to do even the smallest task right. Amen.

Action Point

It’s when you rush, you make mistakes, slow things down and do them right.
