Day 20: What Am I Going To Believe About God's Faithfulness?

1 Corinthians 4:2 NKJV - Moreover it is required in stewards that one be found faithful.

People frequently ask, "How does God choose who He uses?" This is an important question, and one often asked by those who desire to be used by the Lord. The word for faithful here isn't describing someone's spiritual strength. Faithful describes someone who God has found as reliable, dependable, true, and unfailing.

How does God know if someone is faithful, reliable, dependable, true, and unfailing? 1 Corinthians 4:2 says they are "found" meaning that God watches us over a long period of time and in many different circumstances to see if we will conduct ourselves as people who are faithful, reliable, dependable, true, and unfailing.

Today, God is watching your actions and reactions. He is observing how you treat people and how you respond to pressure. He is looking at how you handle people who are unkind toward you. He is watching to see how you respond in the face of opposition. God wants us to be faithful in our giving, faithful in loving people, and faithful in our pursuit of Him.

The great news is that today is a new day! Even if you feel like you haven't been found faithful so far, you can decide that today you are going to be a faithful, reliable, dependable, true, and unfailing follower of Christ.

What area of your life do you feel challenged to be more faithful in?

 I Corinthians 6:19 NKJV – Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own?

According to this verse, what does God call you?

Declare: I belong to the Lord. He chose me and loves me so much that He calls me His own.
