Little Leads To Bigger


King David did not start off as a king. He started as a shepherd. He needed to feed, guide, and protect those sheep. One time he had to protect them from a bear. Another time he protected them from a lion.

David took care of his father's sheep, and always did his best. As a result, God our heavenly Father, put David in charge of the people of Israel -- God's sheep. Because David was faithful in little ways, he was rewarded in big ways. Because he was faithful with small responsibilities, he was later trusted with bigger responsibilities.

That's the way God works. God watches to see if we handle small things well. If we do, we are rewarded and given the opportunity to do bigger things.

Luke 16:10 says, “Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much.”

Matthew 25:23 “Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!”

A couple of other verses to read are Revelation 22:12 and Psalm 62:12.

Each of us, no matter how old, have things we should take care of. If you are faithful with little stuff, you will be rewarded with more. That's the way God does it.

Are there any little things you should be taking care of today? Pray about it, and then get up and do your best! You will be glad you did!
