Thought for Today: “Faithful to God’s Word”

God’s word challenges us to be faithful.

God’s word is faithful. We can trust God at His word. We’re told that all of God’s commands are trustworthy, and that we can base the entirety of our lives upon them (Psalm 119:86-90).

But God needs to see it lived out in our lives. Our problem is that while we speak a good game, we fall short of the faithfulness God desires.

Jesus said that God has had enough of this sort of hypocrisy.

Quoting Isaiah 29:13 Jesus said, “These people draw near to Me with their mouth, and honor Me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me.” (Matthew 15:8)

God is tired of our promises, and He is saying it’s high time we start living out what His word says.

Jesus said, “Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He really find faith on the earth?” (Luke 18:8)
