Jesus’ words in Luke 16:10-13 are very clear, even if we are confused by the parable leading up to them. They remind us that faithfulness in small things is the best predictor of faithfulness with the bigger things of life. We shouldn’t think that we can cut corners now and yet have the strength to meet the demands of highpressure situations. Faithfulness matters whether we are talking about the big things or the small. Today we will consider the places God calls us to be faithful and the critical elements we need in our lives to grow in it.
