Good morning! A very blessed Monday to everyone. I am sorry for the radio silence. I have been out of town since last Thursday for a wedding.
Sometimes scriptures can be convicting and encouraging at the exact same time. Such is the case for Luke 16:10:
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.
When I read this verse, I become convicted of the little things where I have failed. However, if we re-read the first half, we should be encouraged for the small things in which we are faithful. That means that we can be trusted in the big things because we have it in us, through Jesus, to be faithful in whatever comes our way.
Today, let us not dwell on our failures. Recognize them as areas to work on and then let Jesus guide us. With His guidance, we can't fail – if we follow Him. We can be faithful and hear those coveted words, “enter into your rest, My good and faithful servant."
May we not be weighed down by our failures, but look towards Jesus to give us the strength to overcome them today.
In Jesus' Name, Amen.
