Description

What does it mean to be trustworthy in our challenging world? Let's explore this profound theme of being someone that others can rely on. In this episode, I (Tosha Williams) reflect on my own family and some of the character conversations that have shaped and continue to shape our lives. We will look at the wisdom of Luke 16:10, a profound Scripture that encourages us to embody faithfulness in both small and great matters. Listen in on this podcast episode, then we challenge you to "Seek Him Speak Him." Use the following conversation guide as a resource to get you going in devotion driven discipleship!

********************
“Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much.” Luke 16:10 NIV

SEEK HIM: Devotion is Meeting with God in Our Own Lives! We live in a world where people lie, deceive, cheat and steal, all the while with smiles on their faces. Sometimes it’s hard to know who to trust, isn’t it? Thing is, though others around us may lack integrity, God wants His children to be trustworthy. Let’s “Seek Him” about this character trait through Luke 16:10. 

• WHAT:  What is God saying through this Scripture? The word trusted in this verse is about being faithful, reliable and honest. The Bible says that having this sort of character in small things shows whether or not we’ll have this sort of character in big areas of our lives. ~ What are some small things in your life right now? Why does Scripture say these little details matter? What about something like little white lies -  can you be a trustworthy person with these? (Why or why not?)
• WHY:  Why does this Scripture matter? God is trustworthy; He is always faithful, reliable, honest and true. He wants us to have these character traits in our lives, too. When we choose to be trustworthy people, we follow His example and show the world a picture of what He is like. ~ Does it matter to you to be known as a trustworthy person; why or why not? Do you believe God is trustworthy? What are some ways He has earned your trust?
• HOW: How does God want us to respond to this truth? Details matter, even the smallest details. So we can practice being trustworthy in all the little details, as so that we will know how to be trustworthy in the big things. This applies to every area of life, so we always have opportunities to learn and grow in this character trait. ~ How are you seeking to earn others’ trust? Are you true to your word? What is one way you have integrity when no one is looking? What makes you a trustworthy person?

SPEAK HIM: Discipleship is Making God Known to Others! Speaking of trust, God has entrusted every single one of us with other people. That means He’s placed them in our care, for His glory and their good. Are you trustworthy with this? If so, what are you investing in the precious ones entrusted to you?
