Luke 16:12 (NKJV) 12 And if you have not been faithful in what is another man’s, who will give you what is your own?
There may come a time when we are doing something for someone else and feel like we can just slack off or be lenient in how we do the job.
Sometimes some things just don’t feel important enough to pay attention to details. But that’s not how God wants us to grow in our walk. He wants us paying attention in all things and at all times, little or big.
Keeping our heart and mind focused on doing whatever it may be to the best of our ability is so important to receiving what may be put into our hands someday.
One day I was shopping and I had grabbed a few things and put them in my cart. As I was heading to check out, I changed my mind.
When I went to put them back, I couldn’t remember exactly where I got them from. So, I was going to put them somewhere close to where I thought they went.
Before I could even make that move, I heard it. “Is that where you got them from?”
I immediately decided to search harder and I finally found where they came from. Whew. I know this may seem little, but even something as little as this will show us our heart. And at this particular moment, I needed to fight back the feeling of just plopping them somewhere and getting out of there, vs. putting them back where they belonged.
Sometimes we may be in hurry, we are tired or aggravated and have no patience. In those moments we will be tempted to not be so diligent. But remember to listen to God’s prompting. Even in those moments, in those things that seem so little to us, He will keep us faithful in doing what is right, no matter what state we are in.
2 Chronicles 15:7 (NKJV) 7 But you, be strong and do not let your hands be weak, for your work shall be rewarded!”
Take the time needed to get it right. It sure is rewarding! Amen.
