\u201cRegardless of talents, anyone can be faithful.\u201d<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

There is an old saying, “Dress thyself and show up!” Those words describe how easy it is to be faithful. Faithfulness is not based on skills. Even the most skilled person can be lazy. So it is not about skill set – it is about action. It is a heart thing. It is doing what you know to do with a desire for excellence. It is about consistency. It is about being the person that God can use and promote. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, Nor from the south. But God is the judge: He putteth down one, and setteth up another. – Psalm 75:6-7<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Faithfulness gives God something to work with!<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

So the LORD your God will make you abound in all the work of your hands<\/strong> and in the fruit of your womb, the offspring of your livestock, and the produce of your land. Indeed, the LORD will again delight in your goodness, as He delighted in that of your fathers. – Deuteronomy 30:9<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our faithfulness to use our gifts and talents will cause God’s faithfulness to be seen in our lives.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
