DAY 234:

“Faithfulness tends to be a one-sided expectation for many believers. They expect God’s faithfulness in their lives, but reciprocating faithfulness back to Him is not often portrayed or demonstrated genuinely..

‘His lord said unto him, Well done, 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 25:23).

Many Christians claim to be faithful to the “work of God,” but can’t see that their faithfulness is really to the work they choose to do for God, not necessarily the work He desires to do through them, to fulfill His will.

There is a great divide in where faithfulness lies among many believers in the Body of Christ. Some are faithful to their service to people above their service to God. How can you really love and serve God without considering what He desires? Without considering His will and His expected outcome? Being faithful to God should not be second place to anything else in our lives!! Without Him, we are completely nothing.. Walking with Him should be first! Seeking Him should be first! Loving Him should be first!! Only then will we truly be able to be faithful to the infamous quoted scripture, ‘thy will be done!’

Faithfulness is not just about what we receive from God, but it is how we serve and give back to Him..!”
