“And the servant ran to meet her, and said, Let me, I pray thee, drink a little water of thy pitcher.”
The servant hurried to meet her and said: please give me a little water from your jar. The request is modest and reasonable — the servant asks for water for himself, not for all his camels. He asks for the small thing that will give the woman the opportunity to offer the larger thing. The test begins with a small request. Matthew 25:21 connects faithfulness in small things to being given responsibility for large things. The application: testing character often begins with a small request. How someone responds to a modest ask reveals what they will do with larger opportunities.
