“For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him.” 

2 Chronicles 16:9 (NKJV)

The Bible expresses three truths about the importance of faithfulness in our lives:

  1. God is looking for faithful people.

    God is actively taking the initiative to look for faithful people he can bless. “For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him.”  2 Chronicles 16:9

    God is looking for faithful people whom he can use.
  2. Faithful people are hard to find.

    The Bible says in Proverbs 20:6, “Most men will proclaim each his own goodness, but who can find a faithful man?” A lot of people talk the talk, but they don’t trust God. They say they believe in God but don’t trust him regarding their finances, health, or job.

    Psalm 53:2, 3 says this: “God looks down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there are any who understand, who seek God. Every one of them has turned aside;They have together become corrupt; There is none who does good, no, not one.”
  3. Faithfulness is the key to blessing and victory.

    First John 5:4-5 says, “For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith. Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?” 

    The Bible says in Proverbs 28:20, “A faithful man will abound with blessings, but he who hastens to be rich will not go unpunished.” God wants your life to be overflowing with his blessings. But to have those blessings, you must learn to trust him. Will you let God grow you in this area so you can be a person of faith?
