So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God. 1 Corinthians 10:31
“Great opportunities to serve God seldom arise, but little ones are frequent. Understand then that the one who is faithful over a few things will be placed over many. Do all things in the name of God and you will do all things well. Provided you know how to fulfill your duties properly, then ‘whether you eat or drink’, whether you sleep or take recreation or turn spit, you will profit greatly in God’s sight by doing all these things because God wishes you to do them.”
Francis de Sales in Introduction to the Devout Life III, 34.
After one of my staff members saw me preaching on at a large church in Seoul, he said this to me. “Gary, someday I want to preach at a large church like that. How do I get the opportunity?”
I said almost the same words as Francis wrote here. “Great opportunities to serve God seldom arise, but little ones are frequent. Understand then that the one who is faithful over a few things will be placed over many.”
This young staff member was the first believer in his village in Nepal. He has evangelized the entire village. Soon he may be the first person ever to receive a PhD in English in his country. So I added this.
Prakash, you will preach on larger stages. You will do even greater things than I have done. You need to focus on doing every task, big or small, with precision and excellence, and the God who sees will reward you.
This rings true for everyone reading today. Do little things well. God will give you greater opportunities over time. Related to giving, make many faithful small gifts. You will profit greatly and see your giving grow.
