Episode 276 - Faithful in the Little Things

Joseph entered Potiphar’s house as a slave, but he did not treat his responsibilities as unimportant. Genesis 39 says, “his master saw that the LORD was with him,” and eventually Potiphar entrusted Joseph with everything he owned.Joseph did not begin by governing Egypt. He began by faithfully serving in one man’s house. His daily responsibilities prepared him for greater opportunities later.We sometimes dream of doing something significant for God while neglecting the ordinary duties already before us. But faithfulness is revealed in arriving on time, keeping our word, completing our work, and serving others with a good attitude.Jesus said, “He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much.”Do not despise today’s small responsibilities. Handle them faithfully. God often uses the little things to prepare us for something greater.
