We must determine that we will be faithful, even when nobody knows us or seems to care what we are doing or going through. Never leave anything

God has assigned you to do unless He Himself releases you from it.

GOD'S WORD FOR YOU

And let them also be tried and investigated and proved first; then, if they turn out to be above reproach, let them serve [as

deacons].

1 TIMOTHY 3:10

I Will Be Faithful

W e are al going to be tested. Count on it. There are no exceptions—everybody goes through different tests at times in their lives. But they are al open-book tests; the answers are found in the Book. No matter what we are going through, the Bible has the revelation that God has placed there for us.

We must be faithful to keep on doing what is right, even when the right thing has not happened to us yet. If we want God to work through our lives, He is

going to do a work in us first. Satan attacks us in our minds, teling us lies such as, “This is not working. This is not doing you any good now, and it's never going to do you any good. You might as wel give it up and go do something else.” So many people quit on God right before their breakthrough.

Today's instant society is ruining people because we think everything should be easy. But godly strength, wisdom and knowledge, spiritual maturity and

character are developed in us as we go through tests.

If we want to grow up in God and do what He has called us to do, we have to just settle down and be faithful. There is no “microwave maturity.”

GOD'S WORD FOR YOU

Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore will I deliver him; I will set him on high, because he knows and understands My

name [has a personal knowledge of My mercy, love, and kindness—trusts and relies on Me, knowing I will never forsake him, no, never].

He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him.

With long life will I satisfy him and show him My salvation.

PSALM 91:14–16
