So if you have not been faithful with the unrighteous money, who will trust you with what is genuine?
Luke 16:11
As one goes through life it is important to ask, ‘Who trusts me?’ If you have very few, or even nobody, who trusts you on any level, it indicates your reputation is quite poor. Faithfulness in anything, even bad things, is appreciated.
Being faithful is actually a key to life. Those who learn this lesson early will go far. Now, Jesus is not saying that being faithful in worldly things makes you holy. But, it does make you trustworthy, and potentially loyal. Laziness and godliness do not mix. So being industrious won’t make you holy, but it will make you eligible.
Heavenly Father, thank You for constantly helping us to see how weak we are. Though we resist that, it is in our favor to realize just how much we depend upon You. Every blessing comes from You and is a gift from Your hand. Thank You for Your work in our lives! In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise You, Amen.
