Be faithful · Make Men Great Again

Be faithful

Proverbs 28:20 Tells us that "A faithful person will be richly blessed". When David was anointed king of Israel it didn't happen right away. He was sent back to the shepherd fields for 13 years before he was crowned king. The scripture also tells us that he kept a good attitude and sang songs of thanksgiving and praise while he was waiting. He didn't get sour and ruin God's plan for his life.

Like David we know we have more in the tank. We can feel those seeds of greatness inside, but we're stuck in the mundane, doing something less than what we are capable of, and just the monotony of the life that we're currently living. The question is, are we being faithful, putting in the effort, and striving for excellence where God has us right now? Be faithful when nothing exciting is happening and things don't seem to be changing. That's exactly when God is preparing the way, placing those divine connections in your path, and opening doors that we never could on our own. When we're faithful in the here and now, God will bring the background to the foreground. In ways exceedingly and abundantly more than we thought possible.

My grandmother always told to me do what you can with what you have for Jesus sake. That still rings true today.

I'm calling myself out on this one as a reminder to be faithful today and everyday.
