Handling the Small Things

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

Mighty Warrior, Mighty King – David. David ended up this way, but we mustn’t forget he started out as a ruddy little shepherd boy for his father. Hmm!

As long as we live trials and tribulation, temptation and trouble 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. It’s not the big trials or temptations that often topple us. It’s our failure in 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 small and great. Today will be full of opportunities to practice.

Until tomorrow…

Pastor Botts

“Whoever can be trusted with very little can be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much.” – Luke 16:10
