Have you
had your Joy Juice today? The Fruit
of the Spirit is something that all Christians should desire as a part of their
daily spiritual diet. The fruit on our
menu for today is FAITHFULNESS.
In 1
Corinthians 16:13, Paul teaches that each should “stand firm in your faith”. That means that we should not get discouraged
and give up easily. Faith can
make us ultimately strong, because it gives us the ground on which to
stand. Standing firm, being faithful in
even the little things is imperative to growing in our spiritual walk.
Too many of
us are not faithful in the little things.
We sometimes break our promises, don’t follow through on an obligation
or don’t show up for engagements. Some
people fail to pay their debts promptly.
How can we demonstrate faithfulness in ALL things? We can start by being on time for work or
appointments; by making that phone call to the person who God has prompted us to encourage and especially, by faithfully spending time with Him.
“The person
who is always dependable, who is faithful in the least, as well as in the
greatest, whose life and character are true through and through, gives out a
light in this world which honors Christ and (brings JOY to) others.” (Rev. James R. Miller from God’s Treasury
of Virtues.)
Lamentations 3:23 says: “Great is his faithfulness; his mercies begin afresh each morning”. Start fresh today and be joyous in His
faithfulness.
