“You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness.” — Matthew 25:23 (NIV)
Allow me to stretch Jana’s lesson just a little further.
Joseph was asked by his father to take grain—food rations—to his brothers who were tending the flock in the fields. It seemed like a simple task. A quick delivery. An errand for a younger brother. But that was the very moment that would mark a turning point in his life.
It was during that simple assignment that his brothers stripped him of his coat and threw him into a pit. That errand led him into pain—but it also led him into purpose.
That grain he carried to the field was not random. It was a picture—a foreshadow—of a future role he would play. Years later, Joseph would be Governor of Egypt, second only to Pharaoh, distributing grain to nations in the middle of a famine.
The boy who delivered food to brothers would one day deliver nations from starvation.
Even though Scripture does not explicitly say it, we can see it clearly—Joseph had to be faithful with the little. Faithful with the errand. Faithful with obedience. Faithful with grain.
And so the question comes back to you today:
What do you have in your hands?
It might look small. It might feel ordinary. But is it preparing you for what God has already set in place? That small assignment, that unnoticed task, that act of service—could it be laying the foundation for your greater calling?
Faithfulness in small things is never wasted. Heaven watches. Purpose unfolds through obedience, not convenience.
So today, don’t despise the grain. Don’t disregard the field. Don’t doubt the journey.
What’s in your hands now is shaping what’s ahead.
Amen ad amen
God purpose nobody cannot be thwarted
He has good plans ad purpose so will forever hold on His word
