🌄 Failing Forward – Day 11

Ordinary Faithfulness Still Counts

Scripture

Luke 16:10 —
“Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much.”

Devotional

Many believers feel discouraged because their faith doesn’t look dramatic.

No big breakthrough.
No sudden transformation story.
Just ordinary days — showing up, praying quietly, trying again.

But God places great value on ordinary faithfulness.

We often think transformation must look impressive to matter. Yet Scripture shows that God works most powerfully through small, consistent obedience — the kind no one applauds and few notice.

Faithfulness looks like:

• choosing kindness when it would be easier to withdraw

• returning to prayer after a dry season

• opening your Bible even when it feels routine

• asking forgiveness quickly

• continuing to trust God on uneventful days

These moments may feel insignificant, but they are shaping you more than you realize.

God is not overlooking your quiet obedience.
He is building depth, endurance, and trust — qualities that last longer than emotional highs.

You don’t need to live a dramatic faith to live a meaningful one.
Steady faithfulness is still faithfulness.

And God sees every small step.

Where have you discounted small acts of faithfulness as “not enough”?
