Testing of Faithfulness

As I sit here pondering the extreme faithfulness of our God, I am reminded that my proper response is being faithful in return. Reading the Psalms and a Proverb daily has taught me that to the faithful God shows Himself faithful. The Holy Spirit inspired Paul to write “…it is required in stewards that one be found faithful.”  Being faithful doesn’t always come with a lot of fanfare or glory. Often times, being faithful attracts no attention at all, except from God Himself. It is clear, God values day to day faithfulness and the little things always matter. The Lord will say one day to a select group of people, “Well done, good and faithful servant… Let us not be deceived, being people of faith requires that we will live by it for without faith one cannot please God. Faithfulness is thus mandatory, not out of a spirit of compulsion but a spirit of gratitude expressing itself in servitude.  Dena and I are so grateful to be surrounded by a crowd of “towel toters”, those who serve faithfully inspiring others to do the same. We do not know how long it will be before the Lord’s return, but Revelation 22:14 says, “Blessed are those who do His commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the city.”

Blessings,
