Faithful! The dictionary gives the definition of Faithful as follows:

: steadfast in affection or allegiance: LOYAL

: firm in adherence to promises or in observance of duty: CONSCIENTIOUS

: given with strong assurance: BINDING

: true to the facts, to a standard,

FAITHFUL, LOYAL, CONSTANT, STAUNCH, STEADFAST, 

RESOLUTE mean firm in adherence to whatever one owes allegiance.

FAITHFUL implies unswerving adherence to a person or thing or to the oath or promise by which a tie was contracted.

2 Thessalonians 3:3 (KJV)
But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep you from evil.

Hebrews 10:23 (KJV)
Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)

God is Faithful! He will do what He says He will do! He will take care of us! But Are we Faithful to Him and to follow Him in all we do?

1 Corinthians 4:2 (KJV)
 Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.

A steward is to take care of what he is given to do! Each of us have things we are to do, people we are to care for and touch with the love of Jesus!

Are we Faithful?

God fills our lives with people and situations we are to influence.

Maybe you are like me and sometimes look at others your age or in a situation similar to yours and observe all they are doing and wonder if you are making a difference in anyone’s life!

When you close your eyes in sleep tonight, will your actions this day show faithfulness to our Savior, Jesus Christ!

Look with me at one of the verses and chorus of a gospel song from way back!

VERSE:

Does the place you’re called to labor
Seem so small and little known?
It is great if a God is in it
For He’ll not forsake His own!

CHORUS:

Little is much when God is in it!
Labor not for wealth or fame
There’s a crown, and you can win it
If you go in Jesus’ name!

Where is the place and to whom has God called you to labor. Is it to take care of your babies or maybe help with others babies. Are you called to work with an elderly parent or coach a kid’s ball team.

Maybe it is being a prayer warrior for situations you are aware of. Maybe it is paying for the few items the person in front of you is digging for enough change to complete the transaction.

Little is much when God is in it! It is not even necessarily a specific calling to a specific thing, but a call to let all the large and small actions of you day be that of kindness, compassion and love for others. Whatever you do be Faithful to the one who called you to let His fruit flow through you!

Or maybe your calling is in front of many and is known far and wide. Be Faithful to the one who called you and not peoples opinion. Whatever you do be Faithful and do it as unto the Lord!

Matthew 25:23 (KJV)
His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
