Are you faithful in what God has given you?

Much to think about in these verses:



Luke 16:10-11

10 He who is faithful in what is least is faithful also in much; and he who is unjust in what is least is unjust also in much. 11 Therefore if you have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?



What is Jesus saying to us in these verses? When you get right down to the matter it is fairly simple. When you are faithful in the little things God has blessed you with, you will be faithful in the bigger things He may bless you with. On the other hand if you are unfaithful with the little things like mammon (money) then why in the world would He trust with true riches (God's Kingdom things)!



So we need to ask ourselves ac couple of questions:



1. God has blessed us with talents, time, gifts. Am I faithfully using these to the glory of God?



2. God has blessed us with money. Statistics show if you make over $30,000 a year you are in the top 6% of the worlds richest people. So are you faithful with God's money in giving to the church, causes that are consistent with scripture, and helping the needy?



Honestly answer these questions and then ask yourself, can God trust me with true riches? His Kingdom work?



After all his Kingdom work is a matter of Heaven and Hell for the lost which is important to God because He desires that none should perish!
