When considering responsibility

“Go to the ant, O sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise.” (Prov. 6:6 ESV)

Responsibility: the state or fact of being responsible, answerable, or accountable for something within one's power, control, or management; duty, obligation, role, assignment, mission, job. 

Be responsible to God in whatever you do 

“Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men…” (Col. 3:23 ESV)

Be responsible in doing little things 

“One who is faithful in a very little is also faithful in much, and one who is dishonest in a very little is also dishonest in much.” (Luke 16:10 ESV) 

Train up your children to be responsible

“Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.” (Prov. 22:6 ESV) 

Therefore…

“And if you faithfully obey the voice of the Lord your God, being careful to do all his commandments that I command you today, the Lord your God will set you high above all the nations of the earth. And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you, if you obey the voice of the Lord your God. Blessed shall you be in the city, and blessed shall you be in the field. Blessed shall be the fruit of your womb and the fruit of your ground and the fruit of your cattle, the increase of your herds and the young of your flock. Blessed shall be your basket and your kneading bowl. Blessed shall you be when you come in, and blessed shall you be when you go out.” (Deut. 28:1-6 ESV)
