Luke 16:10

If you are faithful in the little things, you will be faithful in large ones.  But if you are dishonest in little things, you won't be honest with greater responsibility.

As Adam began not only getting to know His Creator, but living in His will as best he knew, a sweet friendship developed.

We see evidence of their relationship in the Garden.  And as Adam was faithful in the Garden with what he was given to nurture, God began to trust Adam with more responsibility.

The next responsibility was the task of naming every living creature.  No small task!  The Bible says, "God brought every creature to the man to see what he would name them; and whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name."  (v19)

Clearly, Adam had been faithful with the small things and was now was given greater responsibility.  What a word for us! 

Be faithful with what God has given you and with the little things, such as: 

• Sending a note or making a call when prompted -
• Putting your shopping cart away -
• Being honest - not exaggerating the truth.
• Praying for people when you tell them you will pray. 
• Parking where you are supposed to park - not in handicapped spaces -
• Not cheating on your taxes; your couponing or anything else.
• Being the spouse that the Bible defines.
• Serving wholeheartedly wherever in the home, in the church, at your child's school, in the workplace, etc...
• Having correct priorities -

These are simple things.  However, I have found that I am tested most at home.  If I am not faithful with the 3 God has given to me - how can God entrust me with more?

Same is true for you. 

Be faithful in the little things, so that you can be trusted with greater things!
