Today God says:
"Walk in faithfulness, and you will abound with blessings"
He promises me:
"A faithful man shall abound with blessings, but he that makes haste to be rich shall not be innocent". (Prov. 28:20)
My response to the word:
The word "faithful" literally means to be full of faith. A faithful person is so full of faith that he or she is steady in his or her commitments to God, self, and others. Faithfulness is a fruit of the Spirit: "but the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law".
My prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank you for being faithful to me. I want to be faithful to you. Help me to walk in faithfulness throughout this day.
Today's scriptures:
"I will sing forever about the evidence of your mercy, O Lord. I will tell about your faithfulness to every generation". (Ps. 89:1 GW) "His compassion is never limited. It is new every morning. His faithfulness is great". (Lam. 3:22,23 GW)
Quote for today:
Faith is the refusal to panic. (Martyn Lloyd-Jones)
On this day:
"Scriptures are taken from the King James Bible or those marked (GW) are from the God's Word Translation, used with permission".
