December 14: The Spirit of Faithfulness

Preparing our heart in Advent. Read, Reflect, Respond

Read: Loyal, dependable, and trusting. Matthew 25:21

Reflect:  Faithfulness is a gift of the Holy Spirit when we trust and believe that God is the master of our life. What exactly is faithfulness? Faithfulness is a foundational Christian character trait that is necessary for a godly life. As Christians we know and see how faithful God is to us, His word stands true, and His promises don’t fail. There may be many times when we may not feel God’s faithfulness to us, but we must choose to trust and believe that God is truly faithful. The bible is filled with these promises and examples of His faithfulness in our lives. Because God is faithful to us, we should continue to learn to be faithful to Him. It requires trust and loyalty. Our faithfulness allows us to trust in His promises to us and believe that God is loyal, dependable, and trusting.

Faith is to believe what you do not see; the reward of this faith is to see what you believe.

St. Augustine

Respond: Today, I will take a leap of faith, look for God’s goodness in my life, and make a list of how God is faithful to me.
