Be Faithful

Matthew 25:21 NKJV “You were faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things.”

In Scripture, to be faithful means to be steady, stable, dependable, and consistent. One of the key indicators of serving God acceptably is faithfulness. In our Christian work, faithfulness is what God rewards. “A faithful man will abound with blessings” (Proverbs 28:20 NKJV). Talent may open the door and get you the job, but character and faithfulness will keep you there. When it comes to faithfulness, God will test you in two ways. (1) Your faithfulness in someone else’s vision. “And if you have not been faithful in what is another man’s, who will give you what is your own?” (Luke 16:12 NKJV).  If you are critical, complaining, competitive, or constantly comparing yourself with others, you will be disqualified for what God has in mind for you. Faithfulness calls for serving with love and humility. (2) Your faithfulness in small things. “His lord said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things…For to everyone who has, more will be given…but from him who does not have, even what he has will be taken away’” (Matthew 25:23, 29 NKJV). God wants to know He can trust you. You prove that by your faithfulness in serving others and by your faithfulness in small things. These are proven biblical principles that work not only in spiritual matters, but in everyday life. So today, take a few moments to prayerfully ask yourself the question, “Am I faithful?” If you are, God will bless you!
