The Way of Faithfulness

- We need God to help us understand His Word. Ask God to give us knowledge, wisdom, and a deep insight into the practical meaning of Scriptures. The more we understand God's precepts, the more we admire, appreciate, and want to meditate on His wondrous works and the more ready & equipped we are to tell others about His Word & works. 

- When our soul is weary with sorrow, God's Word can strengthen us and comfort us.
- Choose the way of faithfulness by setting your heart on God's truths and principles. Be intentional. The way of godliness/holiness doesn't just happen by itself. "God made it possible for us to walk in holiness. But He has given to us the responsibility of doing the walking; He does not do that for us." (Jerry Bridges) "Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, 'This is the way; walk in it.'" (Isaiah 30:21) We must choose to walk in this narrow way of truth, governed by God's Word. Each day is filled with choices. We can choose to walk in God's way or our own way or the world's way. If we do not set God's Word before us at all times, we will start drifting away from it. "I desire to do Your will, my God; Your law is within my heart." (Psalm 40:8)
