Faithfulness

Few of us will ever wite a best-selling novel, become president of the country, or score a goal in the World Cup. Not many of us will record a Grammy award song, fly to the moon, star in a television series, or sink the winning out in the PGA finals. It is not that we are insignificant; it's just not likely that we'll pull off any of these great feats.

Do you ever wonder if you'll pull off something great with your life? Do you hope that in your later years you'll look back and see that you really did something significant? Good news... you can!

Think About It
We may not do any of the great things aove, but each of us can do something greater than these feats. Each of us can remain faithful to God. It may sound simple or unexciting, but consider the words of Jeremiah 29:11-14: "I know the plans that I have for you, declares the LORD, They are plans for peace and not disaster, plans to give you a future filled with hope. Then you eill call to me. You will come and pray to me, and I will hear you. When you look for me, you will find me. When you wholeheartedly seek me, I will let you find me, declares the LORD."
God believes in you, is faithful to you and has great plans for you. What does he want in return? He wants you to seek him wholeheartedly and be faithful to him.
God has plans for you, and he wants to bring good to you. Accept his kind gifts and be faithful to him. It's what matters the most.

Pray About It
Lord, I want to live a life of significance. I know you believe in me and will be faithful at all times. I, too, want to be faithful. Give me the strength to live dedicated to faithfulness.
