Our faith and hope should lead to peace and joy. I know we sometimes get tired of praying and waiting for that which we hope for. If we are in God’s will, let us not give up. Romans 5:1-5.

Our hope in God will cause us to praise Him in whatever circumstances we may find ourselves in. May we not lose hope. May we find the grace to praise Him not only in the storms of life we face, but also during times of peace and abundance. Psalm 31:7-17.

Faithfulness is what made Deborah find favour with the Lord. After 20 years of oppression under the Canaanites, she cried out to God and He gave her victory over the superior army of king Jabin that was led by commander Sierra. May the Lord look upon our attempt to be faithful with mercy and grant us victory in the challenges we face. Judges 4:1-23.

Jehovah is the hallmark of faithfulness. Even when Israel was unfaithful, He remained faithful to His promise to them. May we be inspired by Him even as we purpose to walk in His will. Isaiah 43:14-17.

The reason for my introspection is partly found in Proverbs 20:6-7. It is the tendency of many people to proclaim how good they are. I’m sure while doing exams, during interviews and while doing a business pitch, we are forced to showcase how good we are. But are we faithful? Do we measure up to the level of faithfulness God expects? If we do, then I suppose the Lord will be pleased with us and will even bless those around us. My prayer is that our lives glorify God consistently and that those around us become beneficiaries.

I have been asking myself a few questions lately. Am I too proud to take correction/am I teachable? Am I blameless and beyond reproach? Am I investing in the things God wants me to invest in? Am I too lazy/negligent in some areas that are important to God’s will for me? Proverbs 20:1, 3-4.

Paul gives very critical advice for godly living in Ephesians 5:15-20. Let us be wise, utilise resources well, make the best of every opportunity. In other words, let us seek to operate in God’s will. A simple way of checking whether we are is to seek goodness, righteousness and truth in all we do. The Lord’s grace is sufficient for us to live this way. May we be light and may we eliminate darkness wherever we are.

The light of God in us shall illuminate darkness. If a light is not switched on, then darkness prevails. Let us aspire to be light wherever we are by walking as children of God. Ephesians 5:11-14.
