The Power of a Small Yes
"Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much."
Luke 16:10
We tend to wait for the big yes — the calling, the move, the life-altering choice. But God's kingdom moves on the strength of small yeses: the apology said today, the prayer prayed when no one is watching, the bill paid quietly for a friend.
Small yeses are not the warm-up to obedience. They are obedience.
What you do with the next small thing matters more than what you imagine you would do with the big one.
