The Power of Small

Beyond the Present Time
Resurrection Hope
Hope through Stewardship

Luke 16:10-13

The Message

God Sees Behind Appearances

10-13 Jesus went on to make these comments:
If you’re honest in small things,
    you’ll be honest in big things;
If you’re a crook in small things,
    you’ll be a crook in big things.
If you’re not honest in small jobs,
    who will put you in charge of the store?
No worker can serve two bosses:
    He’ll either hate the first and love the second
Or adore the first and despise the second.
    You can’t serve both God and the Bank. 

For Reflection
Every body wants Flash and Dash - the easy fix.  As the Queen song goes, "I want it all and I want it now!"  Cut to the big stuff.
Pay attention to the little things in life and the big things will be fixed.  Choose to wait on the Lord.  Choose God's time over "right now."  Ignore the common place stresses and choose God's path. 

Pray
that you will find comfort and peace in God's counter-culture.  Pray that you will seek God's path to peace, and justice as a guide to human affairs.
