“Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much..." Luke 16:10
Your faith and experiencing God are directly linked... God will not lead you beyond your present level of trust and obedience to Him. He will return you to your area of unfaithfulness until you are prepared to trust Him... - Blackaby
Here we are back to the word... obedience. Obedience that takes faith feels different to me than everyday obedience. Everyday obedience draws me in closer to God, tucking me under his protection, and helps me to not have to experience unpleasant consequences to things I know are wrong. Obedience that takes faith feels more like a calling, something you must do or you know your faith would be stifled. Being faithful in everyday obedience has lead me to Obedience that takes faith. When i look at the above verse, this all makes sense. If you can be obedient in the small things, God will give you the faith to be obedient in the the bigger things. It grows, as does the trust God puts in you to do those things.
Father it is in you we put our trust. Help us to be faithful in whatever way you have asked us to be.
