REFLECT
Have you ever heard the saying “maximum utilization of all available resources or something similar? This saying doesn’t automatically make you think about your relationship with God. Yet, utilizing your resources; time, gifts, and finances for His glory is an important part of a faithful relationship with Him. What you can do with the resources you actually do have? Luke 16:10 “If you are faithful in little things, you will be faithful in large ones.”
