If You Are Faithful
In Little Things,
You Will Be Faithful In Large Ones.
Dr.
Waylon B. Moore, pastor Bruce Moore’s Dad taught me the lesson of this verse in
a way that changed my life... True story!
Scripture
10 “If you are faithful in little things, you will be faithful in large ones.
Observation
Dr.
Waylon B. Moore, pastor Bruce Moore’s Dad taught me the lesson of this verse in
a way that changed my life.
Dr.
Moore was my pastor and Kathy and I were newly married way back in the early
1970’s. My commitment to spiritual things, let’s just say, was not where it
should have been.
He
asked me to ride on a bus and help bring people children and adults to church.
I told him that I would ride on the bus that Sunday. But when I woke up on that
Sunday morning it was raining in Land O’ Lakes where Kathy and I were living so
instead of going to church I decided to sleep in. I got a phone call that
morning from guess who? That’s right … Dr. Waylon B. Moore and he asked in a
very strong powerful voice why I wasn’t at church to ride the bus. To which I
replied, “It is raining and I decided not to come.”
What
he said next forever changed the way I viewed spiritual commitments. He said,
“Well it is not raining here and you said that you would be here. The kids were
depending on you and I expect you to keep your word.”
The
next Sunday I was on that bus. I then later became Director of our entire bus
ministry. We had over 50 people involved in this ministry and we averaged
bringing in about 300 children and adults to church every Sunday. Our largest
Sunday was 440 on our buses.
I
owe my entire ministry to Dr. Waylon B. Moore. He held me accountable to the
small commitment I made to be on that bus one rainy Sunday morning!
Application
I will strive to be faithful in the small things. How about you?
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, You know how much I would like to be able to do in ministry. There is
so much that I would like to see happen. But I know my limitations so help me
to be faithful in the small things that I am able to do today. I don’t want to
let You down. I want to finish well. So I pray for strength today to accomplish
what is most important for me to do today. Thank You for allowing me to
experience all that Kathy and I have experienced. Thank You for the godly men
You placed in my life. Thank You for bringing Bro. Moore into our lives at just
the right time. You are an awesome God.
