Faithful in the little

Have you ever heard the saying, "faithful in the small things?"  Think about it in a different way.  Being faithful is a commitment.  Through thick and thin.  What about the post office's creed, "Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds?"  What about the marriage covenant?  What if we are trying so hard to "maintain" the thing we think is our small thing and haven't even uncovered the God thing.  That would be neglecting the small thing which leads to loosing it all.  What if it is because we want to have something stable so we can develop that true small thing?  What if we are committed to the wrong small thing?  You will loose it.  There will not be anything else entrusted to you.  This is your kids, your business, your income, your leadership, your relationships, your assets and everything else you think is yours.  What if the little is giving lunch to the pan handler on the corner?  What if it is stopping to help the motorist broke down on the roadside? Remember if you've done it unto the least of these, you've done it to me?  

What little things are you committed too?  Are being faithful to the right items?  Where are your little things?  Remember the parable of the talents?  Talents are monetary items.  Now look at talents as just that in today's definition.  What you are gifted with.  If you are not faithful in your talent it will taken from you.  Have you been faithful in your talents?  You might be good at something but it might not be your talent.  Have you discovered the talents you were created for?  Good enough is being faithful. Its got to be Great just like Jim Collins states in his book Good to Great. Be faithful in YOUR little things!
