Today’s Devotional is titled:
Start Small, Impact the World

“Whoever is faithful in small matters is also faithful in big ones.” – Luke 16:10

Have you ever felt too “small” to make a big impact? Gen-Z often struggles with feelings of insignificance in a world that values achievement and fame. But the stories of figures who started from ordinary places, even from low points, can serve as reminders that God likes to use the small for great works. One figure who proved this was Florence Nightingale.

In an era when women were considered unsuitable for the medical field, Florence Nightingale broke through expectations. She began her service not from a position of honor, but from the corridors of a war hospital filled with wounds and the smell of death. She remained faithful to the small tasks of cleaning, caring for patients, and keeping records, and from that faithfulness emerged a major reform in the field of healthcare. Florence wasn’t viral, but she made an impact. She wasn’t popular, but she was useful.

Luke 16:10 reminds us that faithfulness in small matters determines our quality in great matters. Florence became an example that being faithful in ordinary places can produce extraordinary results. We don’t need to wait for the spotlight; we just need to light a small light in our own corridors.

What To Do:
1. Do small things with a big heart, starting with simple actions, such as comforting a friend, helping with household chores, or writing a spiritual message. Faithfulness in small things can be the foundation for a big impact in the future.
2. View your surroundings as a mission field. Whether you are in class, at work, or in your social circle, it is your version of a “war hospital.” Serve with empathy like Florence, and let God’s love work through you.
