“One who is faithful in a very little is also faithful in much, and one who is dishonest in a very little is also dishonest in much. If then you have not been faithful in the unrighteous wealth, who will entrust to you the true riches? And if you have not been faithful in that which is another's, who will give you that which is your own?” Luke 16:10-12 (ESV)
Sometimes, perhaps often, we fail to see the connection between small tasks and huge successes. Those who dismiss the little details for the more significant do not realize that the little details are the more significant issues of life.
All ideas and actions have consequences. If I can be trusted with the insignificant in life, I can be trusted with the significant.
Often college students are obsessed with the important decisions they need to make soon. They are anxious about meeting the right spouse, finding the right job, living in the right place, and transitioning from dependent to independent living.
I would suggest that they first make their bed, keep their room clean, show up to their classes on time, clean the shower daily, and do their dishes after eating.
Then, perhaps the important "stuff" will take care of itself.
