Be Faithful!

 Scripture 

Proverbs 28:20

A faithful man shall abound with blessings: but he that maketh haste to be rich shall not be innocent.

The world today is steeped in all manner of wickedness and this stems from the fact that the love of many has waxed cold, and the love of money has replaced the love of God and man. But this is not what God commanded in the Bible. 

Jesus said in Matthew 22:37-39,Thou shall love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.This is the first and the greatest commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.

This scripture sums it all: the duty of man on the earth. When we can love God with all our heart, mind, soul and strength; then love yourself and not compare yourself to others or be in firece competition with your neighbor, but rather love your neighbor as you love yourself, then you are faithful to God, and His commandments and  laws. And when we obey His commandments, we will abound with His blessings over our lives and our families!

When we walk in love,  we won't intentionally hurt or steal, gossip, backbite or falsely accuse others just to get ahead. When we love others, we won't kidnap, kill or destroy others just because of money. As the opening scripture has read, the faithful man will abound with God's blessings but he who is hasty to be rich will not be innocent. This means if one is not willing and obedient to God and His word, he or she will stray from the path of righteousness and end up on the path of evil and destruction!

So, therefore, let us remain faithful to Him Who has called us out of darkness and into His marvelous Light, and continue to show forth His praises. Hallelujah!

Prayer 

Father LORD, 

I thank you for your word to me today. Please help me walk in faithfulness and the paths of righteousness all my days, so I can faithfully abound with your blessings. 

Veer me off the path of worldliness which leads to the love of money. Help me to keep my eyes on you, knowing that You will always provide and supply all my needs according to your riches in glory by Christ Jesus in the Name of Jesus, I pray, Amen.
