Bible Study – Luke 16

S – 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 ESV

O – Jesus shares a universal principle.  The faithful person with little will show the same conviction and dedication with much.  The opposite is true as well.  A person of little commitment will show the same for both small and large responsibilities.

A – Jesus does not discourage gaining wealth.  He actually says it can be an effective tool in sharing the gospel.  Then, he challenges the individual to become faithful and honest stewards of the wealth are given.  If we do this well with little, more will be given to us.  All along the journey, using the wealth as a way of sharing the gospel with others.

R – Heavenly Father, you are Jehovah Jireh, our Provider.  You give us everything we need.  We choose to be faithful and honest in our stewardship of all that you have blessed us with.  Continue to show us how we can share the gospel with the resources you give us.
