Faithfulness is best tested in little things. We never make a greater mistake than when we say, "What I do can make little difference," or "What work or money I can give to the furthering of God's cause is too little to be reckoned." God does reckon it, and all the more because it is little and it is all we have. There is a vast difference in the ways men look at that. One man, because he has little to give, gives nothing; because he has little ability to do, does nothing; because he has little time, feels so pressed that he will undertake nothing. That is the unfaithful one. Another, because he has little money, and little talent, and little time, proceeds to lay it out and use it the more carefully for the greatest advantage. This is the faithful servant whom his Lord shall set over much and who shall enter into the joy of his Lord. "For he that is faithful in a very little is faithful also in much." And besides all that, the Lord can take our little, and through his blessing can make it amount to very much, as once he took their five loaves and two fishes and fed a multitude with it. [167]
