“Faithfulness”
God requires our faithfulness
regardless of the situation that we are facing.
He never adjusts his word to accommodate us; His expectation is for us
to alter our behavior and actions to align with His will. It is unacceptable for us to exchange God’s
standard for society’s beliefs or practices.
In 2 Chronicles 28:22-24, King Ahaz believed
that the gods of the kings of Aram had helped them to defeat him. As a result, he decided to sacrifice to the
gods of Damascus with the hope that they would bring him success in conquering
the army of Aram. Ahaz ignored God’s
command to avoid serving or worshiping other gods and his lack of faithfulness
to the one TRUE God lead to the disgrace of Israel. True success comes from obedience to God’s
Holy Word.
Psalm 1:1-3
Blessed is the person
who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked,
Nor stand in the path of sinners,
Nor sit in the seat of scoffers!
2 But
his delight is in the Law of the Lord,
And on His Law he meditates day and night.
3 He will be like a
tree planted by streams of water,
Which yields its fruit in its season,
And its leaf does not wither;
And in whatever he does, he prospers.
