FAITHFULNESS IN THE LITTLE BEGINNINGS

He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much.
Luke 16:10

Elisha was a diligent farmer (1Kings 19:19) without any foreknowledge that he had been predestined to be a prophet but when the fullness of time came, God's purpose for his life came to fruition.
Joseph after being sold by his brothers wandered about as a slave then a prisoner but for ever place he found himself, he was diligent with his work.
David also, was just a shepherd boy with little knowledge that he was destined to be a king. But on the field, he would go the extra mile of fighting bears and lions just to save his sheep(1 Samuel 17:34-36).
All these together with others like Jesus, Abraham and Moses had little beginnings but that did not hinder their glorious ends. However, they were all diligent in their occupations before their ultimate calls.
Jesus said in Luke 16:11 that unless one is faithful with unrighteous mammon, he will not be given the true riches. To attain our ultimate calling, it is important that we be found faithful and diligent with everything God commits into our hands including 'unspiritual' things like academics, jobs and families.

LIFE APPLICATION
Be content with wherever you find yourself even as you strive for higher heights because in God's time, you will be lifted up.
Be faithful with whatever is committed into your hands be it great or little.

PRAYER
Father help me be faithful with whatever I am called to do.
