Faithful in Little Things

By Michigan Christian Advocate

Be faithful in little things. Delude not yourself with the idea that you can be uncertain and untrue in trifles, and yet be reliable and trustworthy in great matters. Trifles make up our life, and are the ultimate test of fidelity. The best will cannot ripen into permanent greatness when the fearful power of negligent habit in trivial things has given bent and character to the soul. God's laws are not broken with impunity. Character is not constituted by a brilliant dash now and then, but is what we make it by the use of our powers in the routine affairs of current life. Only those who are faithful in the few things of common life are to rule over many things in the exalted stations of the heavenly realms.—Michigan Christian Advocate.
