Trustworthy

The man who can be trusted in little things can be trusted in great; the man who is dishonest in little things will be dishonest in great.
Lk.16:10

Jesus classifies money as the tainted, little thing compared to the true riches of heaven. As a "little thing", money is something that tests our trustworthiness.

I recall a past prime minister who, at the high of his public fame, had been cheating on his wife. His fall soon followed. The "little thing" of his marriage proved him untrustworthy for the leading of a nation.

 It's in the little things that I can flex and train my "trustworthy" muscle, building habits that I can apply to all things great or small. 

Jesus, help me build the virtue of trustworthiness.
