Leaders like Moses, always aware of their own limitations, sought out the presence of God so they could embody the vision God had for them and the people they were leading. We too need God’s presence, direction, and word. Many have heard someone say that God never spoke to them. But, God continues to speak to us through his word, the Bible.

What happens when our relationships flatline? Jesus offers to restore us. We don’t have to continue living in brokenness. Just because we encounter offense or even abuse in our relationships doesn’t mean we have to live with a root of bitterness (Hebrews 12:15).

We should be faithful to praise. We should be faithful to rave, boast, and celebrate our Lord. We should be faithful to acknowledge Him in public. We should be faithful to express our love toward Him by blessing Him by kneeling or bowing and aligning our hearts with His. We should be faithful to making music to God with strings.

Even in nothing, there is a blessing for those who dare to trust God. Things may not go according to plan, or in the way that you may think, but at the end of the day, God is always faithful. Your nothing is all that you need for God to turn it into a blessing that you could not see coming. Trust in God’s faithfulness.

The Bible says that we can do “all things through Christ who strengthens me,” (Philippians 4:13). There may be times when we don’t want to do the things that God has placed in front of us--maybe a job where we feel discouraged or undervalued, or relationships that we find frustrating. 

Are we still willing to be faithful to God even when we are detoured or delayed? If God started it, then he will be faithful to finish it. We should never lose the desire for what God has for us. God always comes through. 

Through conflict and disappointment, choose to be faithful to others. Grow in mercy, love, and grace, loving people through hardships and conflicts. Be faithful with the faithful even when sometimes they are not so faithful.
