“For I have chosen him, so that he will direct his children and his household after him to keep the way of the Lord by doing what is right and just” (Genesis 18:19).
God looks for people in whom He can trust. That is what He declared about Abraham: “I know him”—such a strong statement of trust that it allowed all the promises made to Abraham to be fulfilled. God is absolutely faithful, and He desires that human beings also be steadfast, stable, and trustworthy.
This is exactly what true faith represents: a life of decision and consistency. God seeks hearts in which He can place the weight of His love, His power, and His faithful promises. But He only entrusts His blessings to those who truly obey Him and remain steadfast even when they do not understand everything.
Practical faithfulness begins with obedience to the mighty Law of God and the fulfillment of His wonderful commandments. When a soul is found faithful, God sets no limits to what He is willing to do for them. His trust rests upon those who walk in His ways with integrity, and not a single promise will fail to be fulfilled. -Adapted from A. B. Simpson. Until tomorrow, if the Lord allows us.
Pray with me: Lord my God, I thank You for being a God who desires to trust in me. You are completely faithful, and You expect me also to live with steadfastness and obedience before You.
Make me a stable, trustworthy person, determined to obey You in everything. May I not be led by emotions or inconsistencies, but may my life be founded on Your mighty Law and Your wonderful commandments. I want You to be able to say, “I know him,” as You said of Your servant Abraham.
Oh, Most Holy God, I worship and praise You for desiring partnership with me in Your work. Your beloved Son is my eternal Prince and Savior. Your mighty Law is the firm foundation upon which I build my faithfulness. Your commandments are like pillars of truth, upon which I can live with steadfastness and peace. I pray in the precious name of Jesus, amen.
