"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.
If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?
And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another man’s, who shall give you that which is your own?"
Luke 16:10-12
These are some good verses to ponder, because I think we justify ourselves a lot in being perhaps less faithful with things that belong to someone else, perhaps because we feel slighted, perhaps because they have way more than enough... or for whatever reason. And maybe we are unjust in small things, thinking that tiny things don't really matter. Here though, Christ teaches that faithfulness isn't something we can pick and choose according to the circumstance... it is part of who we are, and we need to learn it that way, as a lifestyle, not as an optional thing.
Today, let's think about our commitment to faithfulness, and the way that we treat those we see as unrighteous and people outside our circles? When our faithfulness is tested, how do we do? And then when we think of ways that we can do better, let's get on it. :)
