Faithfulness

Scripture:

Hebrews 3:2  "He was faithful to the one who appointed him, just as Moses was faithful in all God's house".

Observation:

This passage is speaking about Jesus and how He became our high priest.  When thinking of the characteristics of Christ's life, we seldom think of faithfulness, but He was extremely faithful to the calling of His Father.  He was faithful to the one who appointed Him.  He did what He was told by His Father and was raised up to the ultimate place of authority because of that faithfulness.

Application:

Is faithfulness what we long to be remembered for?  At our funerals, we will all be remembered for something.  Maybe we will be remembered as loving, kind, generous, funny, etc.  We want to be remembered for so many things, but does faithfulness hit the list of things we long to be?  As followers of Christ, faithfulness to the call of God and His will should be our ultimate goal and what we are known for.

Prayer:

Father, help me to be faithful to all You call me to do.  Help me to leave nothing undone that You have called me to do.  Come alongside and help me to be faithful in all things and trustworthy.

Your Son,
Jeff
