As one of the fruits of the spirit, Faithfulness, is a two way street with God. He promises to be faithful to both us and his promises - thus we continually pledge our faithfulness to Him.
It is so easy to loose sight of the many ways in which the Lord has been faithful to us personally. So many things seem to distract us and often current issues/problems shape our perspective on God's faithfulness to us and our situation. It is so important to remember what Christ has done in our lives, in order to see what He currently may be doing.
A key phrase in the Old Testament is "Remember..." Whether the speaker is referring to the Sabbath, the Lord, or your time in Egypt... We are called to remember how God has worked in our lives and history - this helps keep our identity firmly rooted in God's identity.
This Sunday, as we look back on what the Lord has done in our lives and in our faith community, let us be joyful and thankful, as well as expectant. "For greater things have yet to come and greater things have yet to be done here..."
Meditation: Psalm 31: 1-8.
