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.

             Luke 16. 10

(Which way do I choose
in what is before me
    right now in this day?
Faithfulness to God is
  built in layers.
Faithfulness is
  decided in the
  most ordinary ways
  and ordinary days,
so that when the
   crises come,
we already know
how to respond
   and to be faithful.
There are no
   small obediences,
no insignificant actions.)

O LORD,
Help us to follow You
in whatever is before us
and to be faithful to You
   even in the very little.
Because nothing
     in Your Kingdom
and in Your eyes
    is very little at all.
It is not that
   we should trust You,
but can you trust us?
Engrave in us
  awareness of 
the magnitude of our words,
thoughts, attitudes,
and our faithfulness
            in daily decisions.
What we choose
on ordinary days
determines the course
            of our lives.
Be glorified in us,
             O LORD,
even in this.
