Being faithful in the little things

Years ago there was a movie that had a scene where a cashier purposely gave too much change back to a young woman. She counted the changed, realized what he had done, thought about it, then put the money in her purse and left the store. The cashier then said to the man who had been behind her in line, "Did you see that? She just sold her character for $3.00".

The Bible tell us that if we are faithful in the little things we will be entrusted with greater things (Luke 16:10). One of the reasons being faithful in the little things in life is important is because it is a training ground. When you purpose to be a good steward of all that has been entrusted to you, no matter how small, when the bigger issues of life arise, you will be ready. You will have peace and even anticipation to do the right thing because God has already shown you His faithfulness in the little things. As you trust in Him, He will entrust more to you and your relationship to the Lord grows stronger.

Your character before God is priceless. Treat it as such and watch how your life will be blessed.
