Living in the Spirit … Leads Me to Faithfulness
In the Word
Let love and faithfulness never leave you … (Proverbs 3:3a).
Of the Word
TRUSTWORTHINESS + RELIABLILTY + LOYALTY = A FAITHFUL PERSON
TRUSTWORTHY.
Can I hardly wait to tell a secret, or can I be trusted with a confidence?
RELIABLE.
Do I make promises and fail to follow through, or do people find that I am reliable?
LOYAL.
Am I always looking for something different or better, or am I loyal?
Because our loving God will be faithful to us through eternity, let us strive to follow His example by: honoring our promises; being faithful to our families; standing up for others; keeping our word; paying our debts; being faithful in our worship and loyal to our Savior Jesus Christ. No words will be sweeter than to one day hear from our Heavenly Father, “Well done, good and faithful servant” (Matthew 25:23a)!
…. the fruit of the Spirit is … faithfulness … (Galatians 5:22).
Walking with my Lord
Father, through the example of Jesus Christ and the guidance of Your Holy Spirit, help me to become a person others will always trust because they see Jesus in me. In His name. Amen.
