Luke 16:10 (ESV Strong's)
“One who is faithful in a very little is also faithful in much, and one who is dishonest in a very little is also dishonest in much.
Subject: Service - Stewardship
We all know who we can trust. We can trust those who, when given a job, resources, and/or tasks, fulfill to their best capability their roles and responsibilities. This is a simple way to judge if they would be able to handle more of the same, or even better of the same. This is true in the spiritual realm, as well. Jesus is telling His disciples that they are going to be entrusted with more, but must, first, obey in the little. The above verse is the best description of promoting others. As a soccer coach for over 20 years, I have found this principle is one of the best principles for giving athletes more playing time. If they are responsible for small things (less minutes, less role) they can be entrusted for bigger things (more minutes, larger role). Jesus establishes a principle for us that can be applied in the Kingdom and in the kingdom.
