标 题： 在最小的事上忠心
经 节： 人在最小的事上忠心，在大事上也忠心；在最小的事上不义，在大事上也不义。（路加福音十六章10节）
神嘉勉忠心的人。在你的一生，神会尝试使你的信心成长。祂会不断地领你走到你非信靠祂不可的境地。祂会领你到一个需要“微小”信心的处境。如果你能够在微小的事上忠心，祂会领你到需要更大信心的处境。每一回你能够更上一层楼地相信祂，祂会更多地向你启示祂自己。你的信心与经历神，是紧紧相连的。
分辨自己是否预备好，以便更多领受神启示的最佳方法，是检查你是否在神所交付的事上忠心。我们与神的关系有项基本原则：如果你在祂所交付给你的小事上忠心，你已经被交托更大的责任。如果你在小事上不忠心，祂不会交给你更多的重责。神给你的责任不会超越你当前对祂的信心与顺服的程度。祂会把你带回当初不忠心的事情上，直到你预备好要信任祂。以色列百姓不信任神能领他们进入应许之地，因此那世代的人不能与祂前往应许之地。
每回你相信祂，你就站在新机会的门槛，能够更亲密地认识神。信心的每一步将更加坚定你对祂的信心。更深、更亲密地认识神，是祂公开的邀请。
Faithful in a Little
He who is faithful in what is least is faithful also in much; and he who
is unjust in what is least is unjust also in much. (Luke 16:10)
God rewards those who are faithful. Throughout your life God will seek
to grow you in your faith. He will continually bring you to times when you must
trust Him. He will lead you into situations that require a “little” faith, and
if you are faithful, He will then take you into situations that require even
greater trust in Him. Each time you are able to trust God at a higher level,
God will reveal more of Himself to you. Your faith and experiencing God are
directly linked.
The best way to tell if you are prepared for a greater revelation of God
is to see how faithful you have been with what God has given you. This is a
foundational principle in God’s relationships with us: If you have been
faithful with the little He has given you, you are ready to be entrusted with
more. If you failed to trust God with the little He gave you, He will not trust
you with more. 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. The children of Israel were unwilling to trust God
to lead them into the Promised Land, and their generation never again was able
to move forward with Him.
You stand at an exciting new door of opportunity to know God more
intimately every time you believe Him. Every step of faith leads you to a
deeper relationship of faith with Him. It is an open invitation to know God
more intimately.
