Faithful in the little things.
Faithful in the large things.
Faithful in all things.
These three descriptions perfectly describe Phoebe, a woman we meet in Romans 16:1-2. She is a living example of Jesus’ statement that “he who is faithful in what is least is faithful also in much” (Luke 16:10).
Phoebe was not one of the leaders of any of the churches in and around Corinth. But she faithfully provided her vital service to the people where she lived and also in her ministry to the apostle Paul. Because of her faithfulness, Phoebe was given the responsibility of hand-delivering a letter—the book of Romans—to the church in Rome! Can you imagine the Bible without the book of Romans?
Are you faithful in the little things—like giving generously of your time and energy to your church? By helping others, you are providing a great service to God and His people. And who knows, one day God may ask you to provide Him with even greater service! Phoebe served faithfully in what was least…and proved faithful also in much.
A woman’s day is full of challenges and opportunities. Let the wisdom of God show you how to thrive through it all in Elizabeth George’s newest book, Proverbs for a Woman’s Day.

I know from personal experience that living a life of prayer is not easy. Our lives are filled with a multitude of activities that tend to crowd out time for prayer. How many times have you been guilty of telling someone that you would pray for them? Your heart genuinely yearned to be a part of bringing their need before the throne of God. And then what happened? I’m sure that, if you’re like me, more times than you would like to admit, you forgot about the promise to pray before you rounded the corner of the church building! Why? Because you didn’t write the request down.

Paul knew the importance of strategic prayer in his own life and the lives of others. And he knew what to pray for. His prayers focused on spiritual issues. He knew that if those he was praying for were spiritually mature, they could handle anything.
