“Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much.” Luke. 16:10.
A Preacher once told a story about a man who has been walking around the streets, searching for employment. One day he happened to go into the office of a well-known businessman. When he asked for a job, The Man answered, “Yes, I can give you work. See that pile of bricks out there? Carry them over to the other end of the yard and stack them up.” By evening the man reported that the project was completed and received his pay. When asked if there would be more work the next day, his employer said, “Yes, come in tomorrow and carry those same bricks back to where you found them.”
The following morning he came in early and got busy without a word. For more than a week he was instructed to carry bricks back and forth until it was evident that he could be trusted to do exactly what he was told. Then he was given a new and bigger responsibility— He had earned this position by being faithful in a menial task. According to the dictionary, faithfulness is “firmly adhering to duty, of true fidelity or loyalty, true allegiance, constant in performance of duties or services.”
A faithful person is steadfast, dependable, and trustworthy. He’s consistent. You can count on him to get it done and well-done. If he is being paid by the hour, he doesn’t steal from his employer by wasting his time. He works diligently even when his boss isn’t watching. He’s honorable, treating others with the same kindness and integrity with which he would like to be treated. Spiritually, a faithful person is exactly what that word implies – full of faith. He trusts consistently in the Word of God and acts consistently on that Word. He doesn’t have faith in God one moment and doubt Him the next. He steadily believes God and does what He says. May you be found faithful before God.
