"A faithful man shall abound with blessings: but he that maketh haste to be rich shall not be innocent." Proverbs 28:20 We live in an impatient world, yet God expects us to be faithful even if results are not immediately apparent. Faithfulness is not a nice accessory to the Christian life—it is an absolute essential. Paul wrote, “Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful” (1 Corinthians 4:2). The reason faithfulness matters so much is that despite what some prominent television preachers like to proclaim, God did not promise us an easy life where everything goes the way we want it to go. Instead God expects us to trust and follow Him just as much in the dark as we do in the light. When things go well we sometimes say that God has been good to us, but the truth is that God is good all the time. Faithfulness in His love allows us to remain consistent through the ups and downs of life. When we faithfully serve God and patiently trust Him, our lives will be filled with His blessings.
