“If you are faithful in small things, you will also be in large ones” (Luke 16:10).
It is not only in great trials or decisive moments that we are called to obey God’s will. In fact, most of our opportunities for faithfulness lie in the small choices of everyday life. It is in these simple details that we show God that we love Him. Spiritual growth often happens quietly, through these small acts of obedience that, when added together, build a firm and blessed life.
The great men and women of faith, whom we admire in the Scriptures, had something in common: they were all faithful to God. They all found joy in obeying the mighty Law of the Lord. Their obedience was a reflection of the love they felt for God. And it is this same obedience that brings blessings, deliverance, and salvation — it is not about extraordinary deeds, but about simple and possible attitudes, accessible to all of us. God never demanded anything that human beings could not fulfill.
Unfortunately, many Christians today are missing out on precious blessings because they unjustifiably reject obeying the Creator. They trade faithfulness for convenience, and truth for excuses. But those who truly love God demonstrate this love with actions. And the greatest proof of love is obedience. The Father remains ready to bless, deliver, and save, but these promises are for those who decide to walk in His ways with humility and commitment. The choice is ours — and so is the reward. -Adapted from Anne Sophie Swetchine. Until tomorrow, if the Lord allows us.
Pray with me: Dear God, I thank You for reminding me that faithfulness to You is not only shown in great moments but mainly in the small choices of everyday life. Each simple act of obedience. Thank You for giving me so many silent opportunities to grow spiritually and build a life grounded in You, through Your powerful and just will.
My Father, today I ask You to awaken in me that faithful heart that so many of Your servants demonstrated in the Scriptures. They were not great by themselves, but because they chose to obey You with sincerity and love. Teach me to see obedience not as a burden but as a living proof of my love for You. May I not trade truth for conveniences, nor justify disobedience with excuses. I want to be found faithful, even in the simplest details of my routine.
Oh, Most Holy God, I adore and praise You because You are a Father who rejoices in the faithfulness of Your children. Your beloved Son is my eternal Prince and Savior. Your powerful Law is like a firm trail in the middle of the desert, guiding my steps with safety and wisdom. Your commandments are like small seeds of life planted in every decision, generating fruits of peace, blessing, and salvation. I pray in the precious name of Jesus, amen.
