Scripture: Matthew 25:23 His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
Nugget: In the scriptures prior to this, the lord/master gave his servants money to make into more. This particular servant doubled what his lord originally gave. Therefore, the lord was pleased.
It’s the same way with God, when He gives us what we consider a little and do well with that, He wants to bless us more. Many don’t appreciate what they currently have or their current status, but expect so much more. Do you want a new car?? Do you keep the current one clean? Do you want a better job?? Do you show up on time for your current job? Do you want a brand new house, but keep your current one in disarray?
God wants us to appreciate our current blessings! Being faithful in small things can definitely produce many things!
Quote: “I remember hearing in a talk that the more we express our gratitude to God for our blessings, the more he will bring to our mind other blessings. The more we are aware of to be grateful for, the happier we become.” –Ezra Taft Benson
