Bible Quote ~ If You Can Be Trusted With Little

Luke 16:10-12
NIV (New International Version)

[10] 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.

[11] So if you have not been trustworthy in handling worldly wealth, who will trust you with true riches?

[12] And if you have not been trustworthy with someone else's property, who will give you property of your own?

Here's my take on the word 'Trust'. If I am to understand the bible correctly (see quote above, Luke 16:10-12), we're suppose to 'Trust' a person with small things first, and then slowly progress to bigger things. It looks like 'Trust' has to be earned. An example would be trusting a child to cross the road. Ultimately we trust that the child will be able to do it... eventually... but we need to monitor the child with the smaller stuff first like, can he walk steadily, is he mindful of saftety in a not-so-dangerous place, if he is not tall enough for the driver to see... will he wait and walk with someone taller, etc.

Here's what else I have to say about 'Trust'. [Click Here]
