Faithfulness in little things is BIG!

“His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much.’” (Matt. 25:21 ESV)

The promise above is an amazing success principle with great potential for anyone who wants to be in charge of big things. They must first excel at being faithful to the little things! My dad taught me to do this. He said it works well in any type of business, even if you start at the very bottom. You show up early. You diligently strive to perform to the best of your abilities, helping the business generate revenue or produce high-quality products or services. Apply yourself faithfully to each task with a positive attitude, taking the next step without prompting, and you will quickly gain recognition and advancement! This is precisely what employers, including company owners, are looking for. Basically, it boils down to what the promise at the top of the page says to do: “Be faithful in little things.” And the results: “You will be set over much.” My dad started at entry level at an Alaskan pulp mill and 30 years later, he was the top man at the mill. He did it through his faithful attention to all the little things at every level he got promoted to.

Therefore 

“A faithful man will abound with blessings,” (Prov. 2820a)

 “And he said to him, ‘Well done, good servant! Because you have been faithful in a very little, you shall have authority over ten cities.’” (Luke 19:17 ESV)
