Tried And True

Read: Galatians 5:22-26

Most men will proclaim each his own goodness, but who can find a faithful man? —Proverbs 20:6

Bible In One Year: Job 35-37

---

We are often disappointed by the unfaithfulness of people. A family member promises to write, but months go by without a letter. A pastor says he will visit when we are sick, but he doesn't make it to the hospital or to our home. A friend agrees to be there for us in our bereavement but doesn't even call. Others tell us they will pray for us but quickly forget our need. Someone promises to do an important task for us but never follows through. We ask ourselves, "Who can find a faithful man?" (Proverbs 20:6).

We can do very little about the unfaithfulness of others. But we can do a lot about our faithfulness to others. When we make a promise we must keep it. When we tell someone we will pray for them, we need to follow through and do it. When we proclaim our loyalty and love for others, we can do little things that show them we mean it.

The apostle Paul said that one fruit of the Spirit is faithfulness (Galatians 5:22). God will create in us a steadfast spirit if we take seriously what we tell others we will do for them, and if we follow through.

Ask God to make you a person whom others can count on—a person who is tried and true. —David Roper

Lord, grant to me a faithfulness
In what I say and do
So others will be confident
That I will follow through. —D. De Haan

Faithfulness in little things is a great thing.

[Gabz]

I spent so much time gabbing (????) that I hardly took any pictures at all.

[Jen]

Good morning Finest FRiends! Unfortunately, I can't see any of the pictures. Some kind of web server/firewall miscommunication or some such techy issue. Waaaaaah! I hope I don't look too goofy! ;-) (If I do... Billie, please do some of your "magic"! hahahaha)

I'm off to Alabama for a day or two. My mom is sick, so I'm going to visit and take care of her. Hubby (new FReeper "Turbojet") came home from work this morning saying he's sick and decided to stay home. I hate leaving him, but I think he'll be OK.

Have a great day FRiends!

[MEG33]

Jen, I have to turn of my Norton to see some pictures..I'm ok today.

[Gabz]

I hope both Mom and hubby feel better soon.
