“Whoever is faithful in little is also faithful in much; and whoever is unjust in little is also unjust in much” (Luke 16:10).
Nothing is small or insignificant when it comes from the hands of God. What He asks of us, no matter how small it may seem in our eyes, becomes great—because great is the One who commands. The conscience awakened by the voice of the Lord cannot be ignored. When we know that God is calling us to something, it is not for us to measure its importance, but simply to obey with humility.
This is exactly where obedience to the magnificent Law of God gains its beauty. Every commandment, every instruction revealed in the Scriptures, is a chance for us to be found faithful. Even what the world despises—the detail, the discreet gesture, the daily care—can become a source of blessing if fulfilled with faithfulness. The sublime commandments of our Creator do not depend on our judgment: they have eternal value.
If we choose to obey with courage and joy, the Lord will take care of the rest. He will give us strength for the great challenges when He finds us faithful in the simple tasks. May we be found obedient today, and may the Father, when He looks at our faithfulness, send us to His beloved Son so that we may receive eternal life. -Adapted from Jean Nicolas Grou. Until tomorrow, if the Lord allows us.
Pray with me: Heavenly Father, many times I have judged as small the things You have placed before me. Forgive me for not recognizing that everything that comes from You is precious. Teach me to listen to Your voice and not to despise any task You entrust to me.
Give me a courageous heart, willing to obey You in everything, even in what seems simple or hidden from the eyes of others. May I learn to value each of Your commandments as a direct instruction from heaven. Do not let me measure Your will by my limited logic.
I want to live in constant faithfulness. Your beloved Son is my eternal Prince and Savior. Your powerful Law is a flame that lights the steps of the righteous, even on the narrowest paths. Your sublime commandments are eternal seeds planted in the fertile soil of obedience. I pray in the precious name of Jesus, amen.
