What in the notes did you find revealing, interesting or challenging?
-
Even though you know this but to be reminded upon reading the verses that speaks about everything belonging to God brings you to place of consciousness of your role.
-
What I find revealing and interesting in God’s word is that when He directs our path in life it is usually not what we think should happen. He clearly states in scripture that His ways are not our ways nor His thoughts our thoughts, yet as humans, we continually believe He thinks as we do. He knows all things and what is best for us, so trusting Him is for our benefit. The challenging part is trusting Him. We always want to do things our way.
-
Lots of new insights reading these verses. One is that when we realize God owns everything and we are only stewards, that knowledge should be liberating.
-
It’s revealing that faithfulness with small things is key to receiving greater responsibilities from God. I found it interesting that how we handle money reflects our true character and values. The idea that wasting resources could lead to losing stewardship responsibilities is challenging, as it reminds me to be diligent and careful in managing what I’ve been given.

- Revealing: God
always provides, but His ways can surprise us. He is faithful, but we
don’t always know how He’ll meet our needs. - Interesting: The
story of the orphans holding bread shows how trusting God’s promises gives
us peace. - Challenging:
Accepting that everything belongs to God, not us, can be hard when the
world tells us we own what we have.

What does being “faithful with the little things” look like for you at this stage of your life?
-
At this stage in my life, “being faithful with the little things” means watching what I spend money on, I need to focus more on which items I want to purchase are really necessary. I also need to focus more on spending for others who are less fortunate.
-
I’m retired so taking advantage of being faithful in little things is a great opportunity for me to serve the Lord, my family and others.
-
I wasn’t giving a tithe to God. After doing lesson 1, I have a feeling inside of me that wants to bless ministries with my offering to give it back to God.
-
Little things can eventually lead to big things if we are persistent in taking care of the small things in life.
A little thing could be faithful in taking out the trash or helping with the dishes.
In church fellowship it could be welcoming people at the door.
Being faithful to God and adhering to His desires for us will lead to peace of mind and true happiness.
