Do those attributes describe you? They should, because God is seeking and blesses faithful people. <i>\u2018A faithful person will abound with blessings.\u2019<\/i> (Proverbs\u00a028:20\u00a0NASB) Jesus said, <i>\u2018Many are called, but few chosen.\u2019<\/i> (Matthew\u00a020:16\u00a0NKJV) Why is that? Because talent may open the door and get you the job, but character and faithfulness will keep you there. When it comes to faithfulness, God will test you in two ways:  <\/p>\n<p>(1)<i> Your faithfulness in someone else\u2019s vision. \u2018If you are not faithful with other people\u2019s things, why should you be trusted with things of your own?\u2019<\/i> (Luke\u00a016:12\u00a0NLT) If you\u2019re critical, caustic, complaining, competitive, or constantly comparing yourself with others, you will be disqualified for what God has in mind for you. Faithfulness calls for serving with love  and humility.  <\/p>\n<p>(2)<i> Your faithfulness in small things. \u2018His lord said to him, \u201cWell done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things\u2026 For to everyone who has, more will be given\u2026 but from him who does not have, even what he has will be taken away.\u201d\u2019<\/i> (Matthew 25:23, 29\u00a0NKJV) <\/p>\n<p> God wants to know He can trust you. You prove that by how well you serve others and by your faithfulness in small things. These are proven Biblical principles that don\u2019t just work in spiritual matters, but in everyday life. So today, take a few moments to prayerfully ask yourself the question, \u2018Am I faithful?\u2019 When you are, God will bless you.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/lifefmfiji.org\/soulfood\/\">SoulFood<\/a>: Num 19\u201321, Matt 8:18\u201334, Ps 44:9\u201316, Pro 11:10\u201311<\/p>\n<p><em style=\"color: #41423d; font-family: arial, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10px; line-height: 18px;\">The Word for Today<\/em><span style=\"color: #41423d; font-family: arial, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10px; line-height: 18px;\"> is authored by Bob and Debby Gass and published under licence from UCB International Copyright \u00a9<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u2018You were faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things.\u2019 Matthew\u00a025:21\u00a0NKJV In Scripture, to be faithful means to be steady, stable, dependable, and consistent.
