Exodus 15: 24 Then the people complained and turned against Moses. “What are we going to drink?” they demanded. 25 So Moses cried out to the Lord for help, and the Lord showed him a piece of wood. Moses threw it into the water, and this made the water good to drink. It was there at Marah that the Lord set before them the following decree as a standard to test their faithfulness to him. 26 He said, “If you will listen carefully to the voice of the Lord your God and do what is right in his sight, obeying his commands and keeping all his decrees, then I will not make you suffer any of the diseases I sent on the Egyptians; for I am the Lord who heals you.”
faithfulness is one of the fruit of the Spirit... yet when I think of someone who is faithful... I can only come up with God... it seems to me that we are selectively faithful... we may be faithful in one thing yet not in another...
faithful-strict or thorough in the perfomance of duty; true to ones word, promises or vows; steady in allegiance or affection, loyal, constant; reliable, trusted, or believed; adhering or true to fact, a standard, or an original; accurate; full of faith; believing.
well... the dictionary makes it a little more attainable... I am loyal.. I am pretty much true to my word.. steady with allegiance... very loyal.. I am learning to be full of faith in believing...
I pray that God looks upon me and sees me as faithful... I pray that He leads me when I am not.. I pray that He teaches me to be all that He would have me to be... I am thankful that He is faithful even when I am not...
