Trustworthy – Part 2

To be found Trustworthy requires Faithfulness. The determination to stick with it no matter what it takes. Faithfulness is an essential characteristic in a marriage…obviously. A Determination to make it work. Here are 3 things that test and prove our faithfulness.

1. Full of faith. To be faithful is to be faith – full. (sorry about the cheesey-ness right there) but it’s true. God won’t bless something that isn’t faith filled. The thing about life (or ministry) is that it can wear you down if you’re not careful. Building in “water stops” along the way isn’t just a nice idea, or luxury, it’s essential to being found Trustworthy.

2. Faithful when the chips are down. Everybody’s a Cubs fan when they’re winning. But my grandpa (who would have turned 99 this month) was a Cubs fan for His entire life. Even though he was born in 1909, the year AFTER they won their last world series. He spent his entire life (89 years) routing for a team he never saw win a world series. That’s faithful. He was a Trustworthy fan.

3. Faithful on the mountaintop. Remembering where it all comes from is so huge! Craig Groeschel said, “If you’ll blame yourself when things go bad, you’ll be tempted to blame yourself when things go good.” Faithfulness on the mountaintop looks like giving the credit to God and to others when you win!
If you want to be trusted with more, then increase your level of Faithfulness.
