My pastor gave a moving message on Sunday and I couldn’t help but chew on it diligently. It was actually a continuation of what he has been teaching since the beginning of the year. The only difference is it was another building block for me to move forward in faith with God.
Am I faithful?
God is faithful to all of His children. He was faithful in blessing Abraham and Sarah with a son. He was faithful in delivering the Israelites out of Egypt. He was faithful in giving his Son as a ransom for our sins and raising him up on the third day as promised. He has been faithful in so many things, but are we faithful to him?
I never truly thought about this question until now. We all expect God to do for us simply because. I am sure we haven’t thought too much of being reciprocal in our faith and obedience to him. Just as man expects us to carry out an agreement with him, God would love for us to do the same for him. But do we love God enough to follow his commands and show our faithfulness towards him? Do we honestly have enough reverential love and respect for him to follow through?
Love the Lord
I cannot deny that I love the Lord. I love him deeply and it is my strongest desire to show myself faithful to him. Every single day I am amazed at how God has walked with me in my own life. Each day I see another piece of his wonder and devotion to his children.
He promised Noah that he wouldn’t destroy the earth with another rain storm. A promise that has been upheld with a simple reminder of a beautiful rainbow.
Over time I have learned that God is truly my Father, my Daddy. Because he is my Daddy he will go over and beyond to care for me. What can I do to show my appreciation to him for his love towards me? How can I behave more like his daughter and show myself faithful towards him?
How so?
How can we show ourselves faithful to God? This is a question that I am still learning the many answers to. But there is one thing I know for sure…because I desire to know, my Daddy will show me!
I will keep in touch!
