Be Faithful
A highgrading miner secretly pilfers a small amount of rich ore and smuggles it out of the mine by– concealing it in imaginative ways,
– such as putting it in a sandwich,
– scattering it through his hair
– or cramming it in his ear.
After all, he figures, what difference does a little gold dust make to a rich mining corporation?
It can make a lot of difference. At one mine in Nevada in 1908
– four miners were arrested when a whole wagonload of ore they had highgraded was discovered in their homes.
Jesus said: “One who is faithful in a very little is also faithful in much, and one who is dishonest in a very little is also dishonest in much. If then you have not been faithful in the unrighteous wealth, who will entrust to you the true riches? And if you have not been faithful in that which is another’s, who will give you that which is your own?”
God is faithful. He requires faithfulness in your life.
The highgraders in Nevada were dishonest in the little things. But their intent to sell the wagonload shows you that they were also dishonest in much.
The life of faith does not consist of– acts of worship- or of great self-denial- and heroic virtues. But– of all the daily conscious acts of our lives.!
God notices the small things.
You build faithfulness into your life as you daily approach the little things in a godly way.
Godliness is God-likeness!
He is faithful and cannot waver. As you become more and more like Him– you will build faithfulness and become more conscious of how you are using the time, resources and abilities God has entrusted to you.
The time to be faithful is now!
The place to be faithful is where you are. The way to be faithful is to be Christlike in all you do.
“Many a man proclaims his own steadfast love, but a faithful man who can find?” (Proverbs 20:6.)
