Key Scripture: Luke 16:10
Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much.
Devotional
God’s kingdom values differ from the world’s. While the culture rewards big achievements, heaven notices faithfulness in the small and unseen. Jesus teaches that trustworthiness in little things prepares us for greater responsibility. It is in hidden places-patience with a child, diligence at work, consistency in prayer-that God shapes us as faithful servants.
When we dismiss small assignments, we miss opportunities to honor God in ordinary life. He sees every choice, every quiet act of obedience, and every moment of integrity. Serving in small things builds humility and reliability that can carry the weight of larger callings.
Faithfulness grows in the soil of repetition. Returning day after day to the duties God has given forms Christlike character. The world may not applaud it, but heaven does, and God uses it to craft vessels He can trust.
In the kingdom there are no insignificant tasks. Whether wiping a table, sending encouragement, or leading a ministry, it all matters when done unto the Lord. Each small act becomes a building block in God’s eternal work through you.
