Introduction
In life’s pursuits, it is all too easy to get caught up in the grand scale of things and lose sight of the small, everyday blessings that we enjoy.

The purpose of this devotional is to redirect our focus onto being faithful in what we have.
Whether it’s your time, talents, or treasures, it is crucial to use them faithfully and purposefully to honor God. We hope you will find this study enriching, and it sensitizes your heart to be more faithful with what God has entrusted you.
Bible Verse
“His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master.'” – Matthew 25:21
