Over the past few weeks, I have been plagued with things breaking…mainly computer issues but even my calculator broke. My frustration level has been rising, but God still speaks without a keyboard.
Matthew 25:21, “His master replied, 'Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master's happiness!'”
I often hear this passage applied to financing and tithing. Those are accurate applications. But, in recent weeks, it keeps coming to mind with my attitude. If a computer glitch is going to ruin my day, I’m not very faithful when the little things are the problem. Yes, it’s frustrating to see the “blue screen of death,” but there are other things that should get my attention and fill my mind: daily concern for the church, the lost, hurting/struggling families and individuals. So, if my faith breaks under so-called glitches in my day, can I then be entrusted with the major stuff of life? The key is not just letting the little things get you down but recognizing what is a little thing and what’s not.
