Faithful
Now Think On This
Steve Martin
“He was faithful to Him who appointed Him, as Moses also was in all His
house.
(Hebrews 3:2-3, NASU)
Faithful. Now that is a word we don’t hear enough of these days when
describing another, or when someone describes ourselves.
How often have you heard it being said of one, “He was faithful to his
wife.” Or, “She kept her promises. If she said it, you can be sure she would
do it. She was faithful to the end.”
So often we hear of the politician who said one thing before the election
day, but once in office they seemed to have forgotten what they had spoken, and
instead bend to the peer pressure surrounding them. Or the sad stories reported
of school teachers taking advantage of their students, having sex with them,
unfaithful both to their student and their commitment to teach truth.
It has been far too often that leadership has failed us. Out of their
mouth has come one thing, but behind the scene it is discovered that
unfaithfulness to their God and the people they were called to serve was the opposite
of what picture was painted for the world to see. Disappointment may then come
upon their followers, which then cause them to give up believing in anyone
trustworthy. A cynical spirit is thus given a place to lodge in people’s
hearts.
We have been called to be a witness of the Lord Jesus. He Who was
faithful to the end, during His time on earth, and for all eternity, has too
chosen and appointed us to be as He is – faithful and true.
“Thus says the Lord,
The Redeemer of Israel, their Holy One,
To Him whom man despises,
To Him whom the nation abhors,
To the Servant of rulers:
"Kings shall see and arise,
Princes also shall worship,
Because of the Lord who is faithful,
The Holy One of Israel;
And He has chosen You." Isaiah 49:7 NKJV
Our lives, demonstrated before the world, are to be ones proving the faithfulness
of the One we serve. If we say we are going to do something, we must do it. If we
commit to be there when we say we will, then we must be there. On time and
ready for action.
The desire of the Lord’s child must be to someday hear Him speak to them
the word He spoke in parable, “His lord said to him, 'Well done, good and
faithful servant; you were faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler
over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.'” (Matthew 25:21-22 NKJV)
May it be said of us in our days that we are faithful, that we do what we
will say we will do; that we keep our promises, no matter what the cost is to
ourselves. May others say of us today, “They are faithful.” And may our God say of us when we stand before
Him on that day, “You are a good and faithful servant. Enter into the joy of
your Lord.”
