Bible Verse of the Day Friday April 26th 2024

1 Corinthians 4:1-2 This, then, is how you ought to regard us: as servants of Christ and as those entrusted with the mysteries God has revealed. Now it is required that those who have been given a trust must prove faithful.

We can discover the world's analysis of faithfulness by visiting a greeting card website. One reads, "I May not be able to commit to you forever, but I can promise you today." That reflects the shallowness of commitment many people are willing to make today. When faithfulness comes into view, there is one thing that we can always depend on, and that is God is always faithful. God will never leave or forsake us, turn his back on us, or abandon us. God will never take advantage or treat us unkindly; his faithfulness is eternal. There is a world of difference in the definition of faithfulness in the world and in the Word of God. Google defines faith as "the quality of being faithful," while the bible says: "steadfast loyalty that isn't easily swayed." Our faithfulness to God means trusting in Him and loving Him through all circumstances. It means following His commandments even when our human nature tells us to choose a different path.

Faithfulness is love that never gives up, no matter how rough and rocky our paths become. Faithfulness is not a love that shows up and disappears the next day. Godly faithfulness is living a life of constant dependability; the superglue of the soul will never give up, no matter how rough and rocky our paths become.

Jesus lived His life with steadfast and unswerving commitment and faithfulness. He never quit when his path became difficult to navigate; his love for us was steadfast and sincere. Jesus remained faithful to His commitment regardless of the cost; he loved us to death and beyond! Not only did Jesus go to the Cross to give His life for our sins, but He was also resurrected to life so that we might be able to be with Him for eternity. Jesus' faithfulness continues to this day and will never die or fade away. 

We need a foundational resolve that will never abandon the truth. Opinions and values may vary, but the fact remains the same: What is valid for one is true for all. The world wants us to believe there is no absolute, solid truth.

Matthew 6:19-20 Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal.
