Devotional Reflection

We want it all right now! We don't want to be delayed in any way. But God has a key principle: we shall be entrusted with much only when we have been loyal with a little. So let us not dismiss moral decisions regarding "little and insignificant concerns." How we deal with these issues shows who we are and helps shape who we become.

Prayer

Holy and Righteous Father, please give me insight to discern the road of faithfulness and righteousness in all my interactions. I want to be faithful in the minor things so that I might also be entrusted with the greater things that matter to the Kingdom. Please purify my heart and utilize my abilities and deeds to bring You honor. In Jesus' precious name, I pray. Amen.
