about the blessings of faithfulness

When we are faithful, we are to make a concerted effort to be exact and accurate in doing what we are supposed to do. If we were to hand copy a document, our handwritten copy would be a faithful reproduction of the original if there were no errors or omissions on our copy. In the same way, when we are faithful to do the will of God, it means we are careful and accurate in doing only what God wants us to do and to be. There are many blessings in life.

The spiritual blessings of God can carry us over every trouble. The material blessings of life can be taken from us in an instant in a natural disaster of some kind. If we are open to the truth, we will find that greed brings its own punishment, while faithfulness in God brings blessings. If we were to hand copy a document but altered the copied document to suit our own greedy ends, there would eventually be a consequence to our action. Faithfulness to God brings us peace of mind, hope for the future, joy in spite of adversity, and a love that renews our heart every hour.
