Bible Verse Reflection
We want it all right now! We don’t want to wait around for any thing. However, God has a guiding principle that is essential that we are granted a lot of things only if we’ve done our best with just a bit.
We should not be able to ignore the moral decisions we make about “small or insignificant issues.” The way we deal with these matters defines who we are and influences what we will become.
My Prayer
Dear God, provide me with the discernment to see the way to be faithful as well as righteousness throughout all of my interactions. I would like to be faithful in the smallest things, so that I may be trusted with the more important things that are crucial in the Kingdom.
Purify my heart, and make use of my gifts and actions to glorify you. In Jesus mighty name I pray. Amen.
