A Daily Devotional About the blessings of faithfulness: Proverbs 28:20 A faithful man will be
richly blessed, but one eager to get rich will not go unpunished. (NIV) When we are faithful, we
are to make a concerted effort to be exact and accurate in doing what we are
supposed to do. For example, if we were to hand copy a document, our handwritten
copy should be a faithful reproduction of the original with no errors or
omissions on our copy. In the same way, when we are faithful to do the will of
God, we are careful and accurate in doing only what God wants us to do and to
be. There are many spiritual blessings in life. The spiritual blessings of God
can carry us over every trouble. The material blessings of life can be taken
from us in an instant in a natural disaster. If we are open to the truth, we
will find greed brings its own punishment, while faithfulness in God brings
blessings. If we were to hand copy a document but altered the copied document to
suit our own greedy ends, there would eventually be a consequence to our action.
Faithfulness to God brings us His peace in our mind, His hope for the future,
His joy in spite of adversity, and His love renewing our heart every hour. |
