To be found faithful!

Matt 25:21 His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

1Cor 4:2 Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.

This has got to be the thing that internally conflicts me the most. Not that I don’t understand what being faithful is but it’s that it is not as easy it looks. Okay, so what is so conflicting? Well, I can be very capricious (given to sudden and unaccountable changes of mood or behavior), my mood and desires and basically everything changes every so often. I hate routines and being in the same setting for so long bores me tremendously. According to the Google online dictionary; faithful means loyal, constant, and steadfast. Synonyms include true, devoted, true-blue, unswerving, staunch, steadfast, dedicated, committed.

Not long ago, I went for a service and I heard this lady pour her heart out about all that her ‘small’ ministry (according to her words) has been able to accomplish over the years. She said that it only took integrity and being faithful. (Trust me it’s some great accomplishments). 

So, I need to commit to the things that are important, especially God this year, I want to have a constant with Him, also to the gifts and talents He has given me. In as much as I get confused when it comes to what I really want, I need to be faithful in what I have. Thank God that the year has been themed ‘exceeding grace’ so I pray for a lot of that.

And that is my resolution, not just 2014 but the rest of my life. To be found faithful, no excuses.
