Day 8: Faithfulness

Day 8: Faithfulness

Focus: Being faithful with what you are called to do

 

Hello everyone! Today's devotion is  about being faithful in what God calls you to do. By following the steps that I gave you to find out if what you think God is calling you to do is true, has God called you to anything yet? If so, let me explain how to remain faithful in your actions toward that calling.

Question: What is faithfulness?

Faithfulness is believing in something with all your heart, devoting yourself to, and following that something. That “something” is Jesus! Jesus Christ took His faith to the extreme by trusting His Father to take care of Him when he was suffering on the cross.

Question: What has God called you to do?

Make sure you follow God, not this world. Make sure what you are doing lines up with the commandments and scriptures, and go for it! Proverbs 3:5-6 says,

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart
    and lean not on your own understanding;
 in all your ways submit to him,
    and he will make your paths straight.”

When you choose to follow God’s calling you have to trust Him. You can’t do anything without Him, so why even try to do something that big on your own? God is your Mighty, Just, and Heavenly Father and He will not let you fall. It may seem scary when He calls you to do things you don’t want to do and you feel so weary you cannot do any more, kneel. Kneel down to Jesus and pray. Pray for protection as you go, pray for the people that you will effect, and for a faithful heart.

Whatever you may be called to, do it with a faithful, devoted heart that follows God in His footprints. Choose today whether you are going to be fearful toward your task, or bold and faithful with your calling.

Pray this prayer to your Father, God

Dear LORD,

You are the Almighty protector of my soul. I know that You will be with me when I follow Your calling and that You will protect me every single step. Let me keep a faithful heart that runs to you when it’s weary. Help me to become a beautiful follower of You, Jesus. I love you LORD,

By faith is Jesus’ Name I pray, Amen
