Words of Wisdom – Faithfulness
Proverbs 13:17, “A wicked messenger falleth into mischief: but a
faithful ambassador is health.”
The above points out the fact that “a wicked messenger falleth
into mischief.” We see from this verse that we all are
messengers. The question is what message are we
communicating?
As believers we see in 2 Corinthians 5:20, “Now then we are
ambassadors for Christ,….” We are to be faithful representatives
for Christ.
We may not be able to be rich, but we can be faithful. We may
not be beautiful, but we can be faithful. We may not be
intellectual giants, but we can be faithful. When Jesus returns
He will say to those who have served as they should, Matthew 25:21,
“Well done, thou good and faithful servant:”
We read in Proverbs 28:20, “A faithful man shall abound with
blessings:”
Let us each one purpose within our hearts to be found faithful as
we go about the Lord’s work.
These words of wisdom: listening, control or discipline, work,
hate, generosity, hope, and faithfulness are all found in Proverbs
Chapter 13.
