It was early this morning in Victoria, BC, Canada, that I started thinking about our faithfulness. The trust that you have in one another to ensure that what they said they would do is as good as the deed done without your worry.
Who do you compare yourself to when you consider those that are extremely faithful, and those that are only partially faithful.
God said Moses was so faithful that he would speak to him “mouth to mouth” or, as some like to think it… “face to face”. Others could have prophets, dreams and visions, but Moses was so faithful he had God’s full attention. (Numbers 12:7)
Through the years I know beyond doubt that I’ve not been as faithful as I should be. Things happen. Dates slip. You get behind the proverbial 8 Ball and before you know it your world begins to crumble and tumble. You miss a deadline, you fail to check in like you promised, and before you know it you are far from the faithful person you hoped to be.
Hide your opportunity of faithfulness under ground and you will be compared to a slothful servant who could not take a simple talent and double it. (Matthew 25:14-30) Who is he compared to? The one that doubled 5 to 10, and 2 to 4… Someone with barely more talent than you took their blessing and made it 4 times more than yours! You are behind the 8 Ball! Better figure out how to recover before it’s too late!
This morning I’m thinking about 2 faithful men that are able to cover my bases while I’m taking a few days of down time. I’m thinking about a congregation that will keep going even if I’m unable to be there! Go Church, Go!
Here’s a wonderful testimony by one of my favorite choir songs and churches. [Source]
He’s Been Faithful
In my own suffering
Through every pain every tear
There’s a God who’s been faithful to me
When my strength was all gone
When my heart had no song
Still in love He’s proved faithful to me
Every word He’s promised is true
What I thought was impossible
I’ve seen my God do
He’s been faithful
Faithful to me
Looking back He’s love and mercy I see
Though in my heart I have questioned
And failed to believe
He’s been faithful, faithful to me
When my heart looked away
The many times I could not pray
Still my God was faithful to me
The days are spent so selfishly
Reaching out for what pleased me
Even then God was faithful to me
Every time I come back to Him
He is waiting for open arms
And I see once again
He’s been faithful
Faithful to me
Looking back He’s love and mercy I see
Though in my heart I have questioned
Even failed to believe
Yet He’s been faithful, faithful to me
