- reliable; trusted; believed.
For the past few years, I have heard people refer to me as a very loyal person.
Recently, I here and there am being reminded, and seeing how that really is true of myself. I am faithful...faithful to my church. to my family. to my friends. to the people I care about. Faithful to God, and with growing. I don't tend to waver in my allegience to those people and things I trust with everything I am.
Granted, I am not perfect. There are times when I contemplate what it would be like to go elsewhere, do something else. But I am quickly stopped in that way of thinking. Where my heart is, there my thoughts remain.
I guess I say all of this because, recently I've been in a rut. Worn out, really is just what it all came down to. I believe a part of my struggle with becoming worn-out, is that I never think I am doing enough. Or that what I am doing, should make me tired. I guess you could say I subconsciously believe that I am super-woman. Which I know in fact, I am not. When I am worn-out, I become discontent. And when I am discontent, I focus on my sin, yes, but mostly, I focus on what season of life I am. I try to figure out my life, analyze what's going on and why I struggle with what I am struggling with....etc. But the other day, while at work, I had this amazing revelation.
I need to stop focusing on what season I am in, and just be faithful. Walk WITH God. He is Sovereign, so as I am walking with Him, in whatever season of life I am in, His will, will be done. I will be molded and changed more into His image and likeness than I was before. I don't have to analyze it all, or understand it, or KNOW what exactly is happening and what I need to do, because that is constantly changing. The thing I should ALWAYS be doing, is walking WITH God. and Being faithful in what He has given me now. The work. The people. The life. The rest. The busyness. Faithful in it all. Because Jesus gives me all that I NEED, right now, in this moment, with Him.
The Psalms abound with verses of God's faithfulness. The least we can do is honor God's faithfulness, by giving Him our faithfulness.
So will you check your heart, and ask God to make you faithful?
