IT’S FAITHFULNESS TO GOD?
(Isaiah 25:1) “O LORD, thou art my God; I will exalt thee, I will praise thy name; for thou hast done wonderful things; thy counsels of old are faithfulness and truth.”
People will call you a fool, fanatic and other names because you put God first in your life and you identify yourself with the Lord Jesus Christ. Is it foolishness, fanaticism or faithfulness when you refused to work on Sundays and double pay, because you have to be in church for worship? (Matthew 6:33). You stand for what is right and the truth. You say NO to sin, Satan and self gratification; would you call it foolishness, religious fanatics or faithfulness to a loving God? We trust God in every aspects of life, it means in everything; because we know He is faithful and we want to remain faithful to Him. Gideon was a man who has no self worth and self esteem. He was used by the Lord because in spite of his personal issues, he trusted the Lord as he obeyed God. To those who turned their back from following Gideon and God’s idea; it was non-sense and foolishness to them. But we know that God has His own way of doing things. In this part of the Scriptures, it’s very clear that God has a purpose and all they have to do is to trust His heart. (Judges 7:4) 4- “And the LORD said unto Gideon, The people are yet too many; bring them down unto the water, and I will try them for thee there: and it shall be, that of whom I say unto thee, This shall go with thee, the same shall go with thee; and of whomsoever I say unto thee, This shall not go with thee, the same shall not go.”
