Integrity in the Small Things

To become reliable in the big things, you have to practice reliability in the small ones. – J. Budziszewski

David started out as a little ‘ruddy’ shepherd boy for his father. He was later known as Mighty Warrior, and Mighty King. Why, because he was faithful and obedient. Hmm!

As long as we live trials and temptations will come, no one is exempt. God will test us to build us up, and Satan will tempt us to try and tear us down. The key to overcoming both is the same; doing the right thing at all times, no matter when, where, or with whom; or no matter how big or small a detail it is.  It’s not the big trials or temptations that often topple us, it’s our failure to be obedient in and overcome the little dull, monotonous, repetitious ones that occur each day. If character is not forged here it is not forged at all. God is looking for faithfulness in all things.

Until tomorrow…..
