Faithful?

In Luke 16:10-12 , Jesus says, "He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much. If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mannon who will commit to your trust the true riches? And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another man's, who shall give you that which is your own?" So being faithful involves three things. First, we must be faithful in the little things. Second, we must be faithful with money to be able to receive the true riches. Third, we must be faithful in another man's if we want to have our own. It sounds simple enough, but few seem to acquire faithfulness. There are no short cuts, it must be as Jesus said or it won't be. We won't be faithful in the big things until we learn to be faithful in the little things. Our being faithful with money starts with the little as well. When we learn this lesson, God's reward is what Jesus calls the true riches. Could these true riches be compossed of the revelation of God's word to our souls? Then being faithful with another man's precedes us getting our own. Perhaps it is talking about our being faithful on the job, in the home as we grow up, or with another man's wife or family. The question is, are we faithful in these three things? You tell me!
