Faithful

For I, the Lord you God, am faithful.  I declare a thing and it comes to pass.  I declare My word to you, and it comes to pass.  Have I not proved My faithfulness to My word, to the world, and to you?  Therefore, you must choose to believe and trust, have faith and rest in My faithfulness.   For faith is the economy of My Kingdom.  For My word carries more value than gold.  And today I am calling you to be faithful to that which I have spoken over you and that which is spoken by you.  For you must be faithful as the Lord your God is faithful.  

Luke 18:8b

“when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?"

Luke 6:46-48

"But why do you call Me 'Lord, Lord,' and do not do the things which I say? Whoever comes to Me, and hears My sayings and does them, I will show you whom he is like: He is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid the foundation on the rock. And when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently against that house, and could not shake it, for it was founded on the rock.”

Commentary

Our God is a faithful God.  We are challenged to decide if we can believe that God is faithful.  We are moving into an exciting time of the earth that can be very difficult for those who walk without faith in Him, and instead choose to believe in the information presented by your news media, your job, your doctor, your family, or the fears that rise up at night.  However, if you have seen the faithfulness of God and can choose to believe and trust in Him, to have faith and rest in Him, this can still be a time of great peace and victory.  

The statement that “faith is the economy of God” implies that the things of true value are purchased not with the gold of the world, but by walking in the faith that comes to God, hears Him, and believes His word. (Luke 6:46-48).   These are the things of true value, and God is still in control today and able to deliver.  But to receive these things will require faith in His word to you.  So you must come to him, hear his word for you, and then put your faith in it.

One final challenge is in the word above.  It challenges us not only to believe His word, but to speak the words of faith instead of fear and doubt.  And then we must stand on the words we speak.   We really don’t know how keeping our own promises can affect our ability to receive God’s promises.  But we know we are to walk by the Spirit and be conformed into the image of Christ.  Consider the standard posed by God in Leviticus 19:2

Be holy because I, the LORD your God, am holy.

But also in Matthew 5:48

Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.

Is this challenge of the law or a true desire to be like your Father in Heaven?  It depends on whether you are living on the tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil (the law) or on the Tree of Life (Jesus).  Choose Life.
