Memorials of Faithfulness

“Assuredly, I say to you, wherever this gospel is preached
in the whole
world, what this woman has done will also be told as a
memorial to her.”
Mark 14:9

We may assume that our expressions of devotion to
God are small and insignificant, but in God's eyes they may
hold much meaning. Our love and dedication to Christ may
even create memorials to God for future generations.
This woman performed a profound act of love for Jesus.
She did not do it to impress His disciples or to gain public
attention or to gain praise from Jesus. She simply sought
to express her love for Jesus. She did nothing spectacular;
she performed no miracles; she preached no sermons. Yet
Jesus was so moved by her selfless loyalty that He
deemed it worthy of remembrance throughout the
remainder of history.
We do not know all that God finds most pleasing, nor do
we know what acts of our love He may choose to honor
through our children and future generations. Abraham
could not have known that the day he demonstrated his
willingness to sacrifice his only son would be memorialized
and would bless many generations who heard of his
obedience. David could not have known that his walk with
God would please Him so much that David's example
would bless generations who followed him.
God can take your faithfulness and begin a spiritual
legacy, making it a blessing to others for generations to
come. You will never know until eternity all who received a
blessing because of your righteous life. That is why it is so
important that you daily express your love and devotion to
Jesus.

On Mission with God

Then the Spirit said to Philip, “Go near and overtake this
chariot.”
Acts 8:29

Missions is God finding those whose hearts are right
with Him and placing them where they can make a
difference for His kingdom. Some of the great missionaries
in history did not live long lives, but their lives dramatically
affected eternity.
God had access to Philip, and the Book of Acts gives the
exciting account of how God used Philip's life to take the
gospel to the ends of the earth. Philip was preaching
powerfully in the city of Samaria (Acts 8:5). So mightily
did God use him that the entire city was rejoicing at the
miracles God was doing (Acts 8:6–8). This would be any
evangelist's fondest desire, to see an entire city
responding to the gospel through his preaching. Yet Philip
was not activity-centered in his Christian life. He was God-
centered. Philip was not preoccupied with expanding his
reputation as a great preacher or miracle worker, he was
concerned that his life remain in the center of God's
activity. When he was instructed to leave his fruitful
ministry, he did not hesitate (Acts 8:27).
God continues to seek those as responsive as Philip to
go on mission with Him. The reason God has not brought
great revival to more places is not that He is unable or that
He is unwilling. He first looks for those willing to have their
lives radically adjusted away from their self-centered
activities and placed into the center of God's activity
around the world. Have you seen the activity of God
around you? What is God presently inviting you to do? How
are you responding?

God's Manner of Forgiveness

Now therefore, the sword shall never depart from
your house, because you have despised Me, and
have taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be your wife.
2 Samuel 12:10

What is required for God to forgive sin? Repentance.
But even repentance does not ensure the removal of the
consequences of sin. The consequences often remain as a
reminder of the terrible, destructive nature of sin.
David was forgiven for his grievous sins of lust, adultery,
robbery, and murder. God forgave him and removed his
sin from him completely (Ps. 103:12). God did not,
however, remove the pain that David would endure as a
result of his transgressions. The child born of David's
adultery died (2 Sam. 12:14). David's son Amnon r***d
David's daughter Tamar (2 Sam. 13:14). David's son
Absalom murdered Amnon (2 Sam. 13:28–29). Absalom
brought the kingdom into rebellion (2 Sam. 15). For the
rest of David's reign, violence filled his home and his
kingdom. Although David knew he was forgiven, he bore
the painful consequences of his sin for the rest of his life.
It is presumptuous to assume that God removes every
consequence the moment you repent of your sin. Do not
think that the instant you show remorse God will restore
everything as it was. He may not. Some sins, such as
adultery, come from a flawed character. God forgives sin
immediately upon repentance, but it takes longer to build
character. It is character, not forgiveness, that determines
what God brings next to your life.
Because we know the devastating consequences of our
disobedience, let us diligently avoid every sin and “run with
endurance the race that is set before us” (Heb. 12:1b).

A Noticeable Difference

Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John,
and perceived that they were uneducated and untrained
men,
they marveled. And they realized that they had been with
Jesus.
Acts 4:13

There is no mistaking a life transformed by God! The
disciples had been vain and fearful when Jesus enlisted
them. James and John sought to outmaneuver their fellow
disciples in order to gain the places of greatest honor next
to Jesus (Mark 10:37). Over and over the disciples’ actions
showed that they did not truly understand who Jesus was
(John 6:7–9; Mark 6:49). Even after three years with
Jesus, Peter was afraid to confess Christ before a young
servant girl (Matt. 26:69–75). Anyone who knew these
men would realize they were not the kind of people on
which you build a worldwide kingdom. Yet something
happened to them as they were with Jesus. The Holy Spirit
transformed them, giving them new boldness and wisdom.
Now they could perform miracles and preach fearlessly
and persuasively to multitudes. Even their enemies noticed
in their changed lives the same power they had witnessed
in Jesus.
Sometimes we desperately want others to believe that
we have changed, that we are more godly, more devoted,
more Spirit-controlled. It is not necessary, however, for
those who have been truly transformed by Christ to
convince others of the difference; the change will be
obvious. Don’t become too introspective, always focusing
on yourself and the small changes you see happening over
time. If you have to prove to someone that God has really
changed you, He has not. Those around you will surely
notice when your life has been transformed by your
relationship with Jesus.

Obedience Step by Step

“Take now your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love,
and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a
burnt
offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you.”
Genesis 22:2

Our difficulty is not that we don’t know God's will. Our
discomfort comes from the fact that we do know His will,
but we do not want to do it! When God first spoke to
Abraham, His commands were straightforward. “Go to a
land I will show you” (Gen. 12:1). Then God led Abraham
through a number of tests over the years. Abraham
learned patience as he waited on God's promise of a son,
which took twenty-five years to be fulfilled. Abraham
learned to trust God through battles with kings and
through the destruction of S***m and Gomorrah. The
pinnacle of Abraham's walk of faith was when God asked
him to sacrifice the one thing that meant more to him than
anything else. Abraham's previous obedience indicated
that he would have quickly and decisively sacrificed
anything else God asked of him, but was he prepared for
this? God did not ask Abraham to make such a significant
sacrifice at the beginning of their relationship. This came
more than thirty years after Abraham began walking with
God.
As the Father progressively reveals His ways to you in
your Christian pilgrimage, you, like Abraham, will develop
a deeper level of trust in Him. When you first became a
Christian, your Master's instructions were probably
fundamental, such as being baptized or changing your
lifestyle. But as you learn to trust Him more deeply, He will
develop your character to match bigger tests, and with the
greater test will come a greater love for God and
knowledge of His ways. Are you ready for God's next
revelation?

Making Necessary Adjustments

Oh that my head were waters, And my eyes
a fountain of tears, that I might weep day and night
for the slain of the daughter of my people!
Jeremiah 9:1

Jeremiah was invited by God to be a weeping prophet.
His call came during turbulent, agonizing times as his
society suffered from pervasive moral and spiritual decay.
The nation of Judah had turned so far from God that it was
soon to face His fierce judgment. This was not a time for
merrymaking but for weeping. God looked for someone He
could mold into the kind of prophet needed for such a
bleak time. He found Jeremiah. The cost to Jeremiah was
intense; he sacrificed much of the freedom of his youth in
order to be God's messenger. He forfeited family and
reputation. He endured misunderstanding, ridicule, and
persecution. He was imprisoned and mocked by those to
whom he had come to warn of God's impending judgment.
Satan will try to convince you that obedience carries
much too high a price, but he will never tell you the cost of
not obeying God. If you are to be used in God's service,
you must expect to make adjustments in your life. Can you
measure the distance between the throne room of heaven
and a cattle shed in Bethlehem? How far is it from the
Lordship of the universe to the cross? Don’t be deceived
into thinking there is no cost involved in obedience.
What adjustments is God asking you to make? Will you
face the hardships and opposition that will come when you
align your life with God's will? Jeremiah had the deep
satisfaction of knowing he was a faithful and beloved
servant of God. Your reward will be the same when you
choose to fully obey Christ, regardless of the cost

The Cost to Others

Now there stood by the cross of Jesus His mother, and His
mother's sister,
Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.
John 19:25

There is no Christianity without a cross, for you cannot
be a disciple of Jesus without taking up your cross.
Crosses are painful; they forever change your life. But
sometimes the greatest cost will not be to you but to those
you love. You may be prepared to obey the Lord's
commands, whatever they are, because you’ve walked
with Him and know that His way is best. Yet there will be
those close to you who have not related to Jesus in the
same way and have not heard His voice as clearly.
Jesus understood that His Father's will for Him led to a
cross. The cross would mean a painful death for Jesus,
and it would also bring suffering to those closest to Him.
Because of the cross, Jesus’ mother would watch in agony
as her son was publicly humiliated, tortured, and
murdered. Jesus’ aunt and close friends would witness His
excruciating death. His disciples would be scattered in
terror and confusion in what would be the longest, darkest
night of their lives. Because of Jesus’ obedience, there
would also be a cross for each of His disciples.
Obedience to your Lord's commands will affect others
(Luke 14:26). Don’t refuse to obey what you know God is
asking because you fear the cost to your family will be too
great. Beware lest you seek to prevent those you love
from taking up the cross God has for them. Don’t ever try
to protect those you love by disobeying God. The cost of
disobedience is always far greater. Rather, look to Jesus,
your model, and see what it cost those around Him for
Him to be obedient to His Father.

Speaking with Authority

And they were astonished at His teaching, for He taught
them
as one having authority, and not as the scribes.
Mark 1:22

Jesus was not the first person to teach the Scriptures to
a group of disciples. The people in Jesus’ day had heard
other teachers of the Scriptures. What set Jesus apart was
that He taught with authority. To many of the scribes, the
Scriptures were meaningless, dry collections of theological
speculation, but Jesus taught them as the living words of
God. John the Baptist claimed that a man could only
receive that which had been given to him by God (John
3:27). When the religious leaders searched the Scriptures,
they came away empty-handed. When Jesus read the
same Scriptures, the Father gave Him a full measure of
His wisdom and His authority.
There is a radical difference between practicing religion
and sharing a word directly from the Lord. There is a
significant difference between worldly reasoning and
counsel that comes straight from the living Word of God. Is
it possible to teach a message from the Bible but not from
the Lord? Yes! The scribes and Pharisees did this regularly
and left their listeners spiritually destitute. Is it possible to
counsel someone with advice that seems appropriate and
reasonable and yet is contrary to God's Word? Of course!
Whenever you teach, counsel, or share a word of
encouragement, be very careful that the words you share
are indeed from the Lord and are not just your own
thinking. Otherwise, you could become a false prophet
(Deut. 18:20–22). God promises to stand by every word
He has ever spoken (Isa. 55:10–11). When you share a
word that has come from God, you can do so with utmost
confidence!

Faithful with the Impossible

Then the Lord turned to him and said, “Go in
this might of yours, and you shall save Israel from
the hand of the Midianites. Have I not sent you?”
Judges 6:14

In Gideon's mind, victory over the Midianites was an
impossibility, and he was absolutely right! The Midianites,
along with their allies, overwhelmed the feeble Hebrews.
Yet the moment God told Gideon to fight them, victory was
no longer an impossibility! When Jesus commanded His
small group of followers to make disciples of all nations,
was that possible? (Matt. 28:19). Certainly, if Jesus said it
was! When Jesus told His disciples to love their enemies,
was He being realistic? Of course, because He was the
One who would achieve reconciliation through them (2
Cor. 5:19–20).
Do you treat commands like these as implausible? Do
you modify God's Word to find an interpretation that
seems reasonable to you? Don’t discount what is possible
with God (Phil. 4:13). When God gives an assignment, it is
no longer an impossibility, but rather it is an absolute
certainty. When God gives you a seemingly impossible
task, the only thing preventing it from coming to pass is
your disobedience. When God speaks, it can scare you to
death! He will lead you to do things that are absolutely
impossible in your own strength. But God will grant you
victory, step by step, as you obey Him. How do you
respond to assignments that seem impossible? Do you
write them off as unattainable? Or do you immediately
adjust your life to God's revelation, watching with
anticipation to see how He will accomplish His purposes
through your obedience? God wants to do the impossible
through your life. All He requires is your obedience.

Iron Sharpens Iron

As iron sharpens iron, so a man sharpens the countenance
of his friend.
Proverbs 27:17

The Christian life is a pilgrimage. At times the road is
difficult, and we get lonely. Sometimes we may become
discouraged and consider abandoning the journey. It is at
such times that God will place a friend alongside us. One
of God's most precious gifts to us is friends who
encourage us and lovingly challenge us to “keep going.”
According to Scripture, a friend is one who challenges
you to become all that God intends. Jonathan could have
succeeded his father to become the next king of Israel. But
he loved his friend David, and he encouraged him to follow
God's will, even though it meant Jonathan would forfeit his
own claim to the throne (1 Sam. 19:1–7).
The mark of biblical friends is that their friendship draws
you closer to Christ. They “sharpen” you and motivate you
to do what is right. True friends tell you the truth and even
risk hurting your feelings because they love you and have
your best interests at heart (Prov. 27:6).
Be careful in your choice of friends! Jesus chose His
closest friends wisely. He did not look for perfect friends,
but friends whose hearts were set to follow God. It is
equally important to examine the kind of friend you are to
others. As a friend, it is your duty to put the needs of
others first (Prov. 17:17). Strive to find godly friends who
will challenge you to become the person God desires.
When you have found them, be receptive to the way God
uses them to help you become spiritually mature. Strive
also to be the kind of friend that helps others become
more like Christ.
