Today's Scripture:Whoever can be trusted with a little can also be trusted with a lot, and whoever is dishonest with a little is dishonest with a lot.
Luke 16:10
It's pouring down rain, and you are late to school. The cashier at the fast-food drive-up window gives you an extra dollar in change. Parking your car and running the dollar back to the cashier is an example of being honest in the little things. After school, another friend has a new CD you want, but can't afford. Your friend offers to burn you a copy, but you decline, even though you know you probably would never get caught or arrested for it.
You could rationalize burning a copy of your friend's new CD by committing to buy a copy when you have the money. The bottom line is that burning CDs is against the law no matter how you rationalize it.
Daily life presents situations where you will have to decide, not only whether or not to be honest, but how honest.
Do you take the gold bracelet you found to the lost-and-found? Of course! Do you pocket the cash you found in the anytime teller? No way!
The standard of honesty you set for your life will be noticed by others. At the same time, God will trust you with greater responsibilities and opportunities for sharing with others. Not burning that CD you really wanted may be the first step in getting a friend interested in what it means to be a Christian.
Selah people' and friends if you want people to listen to what you have to say about God, you have to prove yourself believable and trustworthy in all areas of your life.
"Peace be with you as you face yourself and rededicated yourself and your actions to being truly honest with God. Share his love with someone else today!"
Your pastor,
Rev Muston(PreacherPatrick)
