Faithfulness
I’ve noticed, in my prayers lately, that the number one thing I ask God for is to help me to be faithful. He has never been anything but faithful to me and I desire to give back to Him what He’s given me. In a world of selfishness, temptation, greed, etc. sometimes our focus can get off of Christ and the reason He put us on this earth. However, regardless of what people say, God did not put us here to be happy. He put us here to serve Him. As we serve Him with our whole heart, true joy and contentment comes but not before then. It’s in giving of ourselves that we learn what it means to receive. The greatest blessing I receive comes when people tell me what a blessing I’ve been to them.
In our “feel good” society, I pray that the people of God will stay strong and steadfast and continue to look to Him and allow Him to use them for HIS glory. Faithfulness is not unattainable. It may be challenging. There may be times we prefer to give into our own desires and lusts but, in the end, it will cost us the close relationship with Christ that all of us should desire. I cannot afford that and neither can you.
Let’s move forward with renewed zeal and a greater love for our Lord. May He continually find us faithful and, when we do stumble, let’s be faithful to repent, get back up, and continue moving forward and drawing even closer to Him.
