“Little Things”
BIBLE
READING: Luke 16
The legendary coach John Wooden
once said, “It’s the little details that are vital. Little things make the big things
happen”. It sounds like Coach Wooden has
read His Bible a few times. In Luke 16
Jesus says, “One who is faithful in a very little is also faithful in very much,
and one who is dishonest in very little is also dishonest in very much.” (Luke
16.10). God knows life is hard
for us as Christians. He also knows that
we are going to make some really big mistakes.
We must understand that every day is a new gift from God, and along with
new gift, He offers us small opportunities to serve Him. The more we take advantage of these small
opportunities, the less likely those big mistakes will happen. In God’s eyes, a sin is a sin. Whether it is a white lie or committing
adultery, to Him it is just sin.
Although the consequences might be vastly different, the sin is still
just a sin. The good news is that the
same is true when it comes to good deeds.
It might be that you help a homeless man out with some kind words and a hot
meal; in God’s eyes it is as if you served Him the finest feast that money
could buy. Jesus says in Matthew 25.40 “as
much as you have done it to the least of these, you have done it to Me”. I challenge you to work at doing the little
things, because it is the little things that make the big things happen.
