"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
In the Greek, the word for "faithful" is the
same word for "faith".
Somehow we fail to see that the real meaning
here has everything to do with having faith.
Faithfulness is faith!
We say that "fruitful" means "full of fruit"
and "joyful" means "full of joy" so in the
same way, when we turn "faithful" around
we discover that it is being "full of faith."
We usually think of faithfulness as being
loyal, dependable, consistent and trustworthy.
Trustworthiness is the ability to be trusted,
but it is a by-product of faithfulness.
Faithfulness is about faith.
Faith is believing the Word of God, expecting
to see it come to pass.
Faithfulness is the ability to walk in faith,
exercise faith, be full of faith.
God is looking for faithful men and women,
not just those He can trust, but those who
can trust Him.
If they are able to depend on Him, then they
will be dependable.
