Becoming faithful isn't something that normally
happens over night. Faithfulness comes
by exercising our faith in small amounts
as we walk through our daily lives. If you
have ever broken a leg, you know that after
wearing a cast on it for some time that
your leg becomes weak from not using
the muscles, due to walking on crutches
for weeks on end. You have the cast
removed and you slowly build up
strength and learn how to use those
muscles again for walking long distances,
running, jumping, kicking and whatever
else the leg is needed for.
Our faith is not any different; if I don't use
it, then I will loose it. When I begin to
step out in faith and I see the Lord open
doors and answer my prayers it gives me
courage to take a larger step the next time.
The same is true if I allow my faith
to become dormant, then it gets smaller
and smaller and the day comes that we
even questions the faith in other peoples
lives.
May we be challanged to stretch and grow in
the faith and knowledge of our
Lord Jesus Christ.
God is faithful, by whom ye were called
unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus
Christ our Lord.
I Corinthians 1:9
It is of the LORD’S mercies that we are
not consumed, because his compassions
fail not. They are new every morning:
great is thy faithfulness.
Lamentations 3:22-23
But the Lord is faithful, who shall
stablish you, and keep you from evil.
I Thessalonians 3:3
A faithful man shall abound with
blessings: but he that maketh haste to be
rich shall not be innocent.
Proverbs 28:20
His lord said unto him, Well done, thou
good and faithful servant: thou hast been
faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler
over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
Matthew 25:21
He that is faithful in that which is
least is faithful also in much: and he
that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much.
Luke 16:10
