Words of wisdom: Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father inlaw the priest of Midian , and he led the flock to the back or west side of the wilderness and came to Horeb the mountain of God. Exodus 3:1
Life point: Pass the Faithfulness test!
Moses was faithful to God’s people during the forty years they wandered in the wilderness. Time and time again he successfully passed the faithfulness test.
But God had spent many years preparing Moses to lead the people out of bondage .
On the back side of the desert, God had taught him how to be faithful.
Likewise , Joshua had learned to be faithful throughout the years and had loyally served under Moses.
God works through and blesses faithful people . People who are faithful in the wilderness, in times of testing as well as in the Promised land, in times of blessing.
Being faithful means being devoted, supportive and loyal.
Faithful people are worthy of trust, they are reliable, consistent, constant and steadfast. They will stay wherever God places them and be true to those God has given them to work with.
If you want to exercise authority, we must first learn to come under authority and stay wherever God has placed us until He moves us.
Like Joshua we must respect and be obedient to those in authority over us.
We must do the right thing simply because it is right, even though we may never understand the “why “ of every situation. Which a real test of our faithfulness and obedience.
We must be faithful to stay where God has placed us and perhaps under the leadership of an authority figure we do not particularly like.
Child of God do you want to have authority and be respected? Then learn to be reliable and loyal.
God loves to reward the faithful.
Hallelujah to the Lamb of God Amen!
Prayer:
Blessed HolySpirit prompt me and help me to be faithful before You and before man in Jesus name!
