Day 16 — Faithfulness
Scripture:
1 Corinthians 4:2 (ESV)
“Moreover, it is required of stewards that they be found faithful.”
Hebrews 11:6 (ESV)
“And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.”
Faithfulness is not flashy. It is not loud. It rarely draws attention.
But Scripture tells us it is required.
Paul reminds us that what God looks for in His people is not perfection, talent, or speed, but faithfulness. A steady, obedient life that keeps showing up. Someone once said that faithfulness is a long walk in the same direction. Not a sprint. Not a burst of energy. A daily decision to keep moving forward with Jesus.
The fruit of faithfulness does not appear overnight. It grows slowly through repeated choices to follow Christ even when circumstances are hard, emotions are inconsistent, or no one else is watching. Faithfulness shows up when we decide again and again to say yes to Jesus.
Hebrews tells us that without faith it is impossible to please God. That means faith is not just something we believe. It is something we live. Faith is placing our trust in Jesus and continuing to walk with Him over time. As that faith matures, it produces the fruit of faithfulness in our lives.
Faithfulness is choosing obedience over convenience. It is showing up when it would be easier to quit. It is staying the course when feelings change. It is remaining committed to Jesus whether the season feels fruitful or dry.
Unwavering faith leads to a harvest of faithfulness.
My desire is simple. To keep walking. To keep following Jesus no matter what is happening around me. To live a life that consistently reflects Him. A life that produces faithfulness in abundance.
Do you want to be More Like Jesus? The answer is simple, just simply keep walking.
Reflection
Where is God inviting you to remain faithful today, even if it feels slow or unseen?
What would it look like to take one more step of obedience with Jesus in this season?
Prayer
Jesus, help me to walk faithfully with You.
Teach me to trust You in every season, even when progress feels slow.
Strengthen my heart to keep showing up, to keep obeying, and to keep following You.
I want my life to reflect steady faith and deep trust in You.
Make me more like You. Amen.
