Proverbs 3:3—Do not let loyalty and faithfulness forsake
you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart.
Our first duty of loyalty and faithfulness is to the
Lord. God has created each of us
uniquely for a special purpose, and we demonstrate our loyalty and faithfulness
when we live into that purpose. As
Christians, we should strive to be known for our faithfulness and loyalty – for
our dependability. Are you the kind of
person others can trust? Are you
reliable? Do you follow through on your word?
These qualities reflect the traits of faithfulness and loyalty, and they
are hallmarks of a wise person.
Faithfulness and loyalty should be obvious and seen by the outside
world. Just like anyone would be able to
see a beautiful necklace worn around your neck, these traits are ones that
glimmer and shine—they should never be kept hidden away in secret. And they are nurtured and grown through
faithful study of God’s Word. Only by
studying His Word can we write the lessons of faithfulness and loyalty on our
hearts. Memorizing scripture is
essential to developing into a faithful and loyal person.
Today as you pray and meditate on His Word, praise God for
His steadfastness and faithfulness to you.
Challenge yourself to begin memorizing scripture, and begin with this
scripture for today, Proverbs 3:3. Envision
faithfulness and loyalty in action and commit to living into those
characteristics in your daily life. Pray
that God would fill you with courage, strength, and wisdom to live faithfully
and loyally to Him.
