Whoever is faithful in very little is also faithful in much, and whoever is unrighteous in very little is also unrighteous in much.
Luke 16:10
The bad manager was the one who was ‘unrighteous’ in little, but also proved to be unrighteous in much. In other words, he had been shrewd and worldlywise as he stole a bit off the top of his master’s profits. And he was then even more skilled in unrighteousness when the stakes were raised and he needed to provide for his future.
This verse is the application of this parable. The key is the word ‘faithful’ here. In contrast to the bad manager, Jesus calls us to be faithful servants. But, like the bad manager who was able to take his skills to the next level, those who are faithful in little things will prove faithful with big things.
Heavenly Father, thank You for this day to praise You! Thank You for Your leading and guiding of our lives. Thank You for giving us hope. In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise You, Amen.
Always a blessing!
