WORD OF THE DAY:      "BE FAITHFUL"        Scripture references: I Corinthians 4:2        BE FAITHFUL      There are many qualities characteristic of faithful Christians.      In this study, we will delve into several (not all) of them. Namely,      someone who is faithful tells the truth. He keeps confidences, he      is meek and honorable. He is an example of living the Word and he      is obedient to God.             "Moreover it is required in stewards,           that a man be found faithful."        Faithful= trustworthy, believing, sure, true.        The faithful conceal confidences. The faithful keep secrets and will not blabbermouth      private information to others. When someone goes to the faithful for wise counsel or for      advice about a private matter, the faithful will keep a lid on it and will not discuss it      with others.      Prov 11:13           A talebearer revealeth secrets, but he that is           of a faithful spirit conceals [hides, covers]           the matter.        The faithful tell the truth.      Proverbs 14:5           A faithful witness will not lie: but a false           witness will utter lies.        Here are characteristics found in faithful Daniel:      Daniel 6: 4           Then the presidents and princes sought to find occasion           against Daniel concerning the kingdom; but they could           find none occasion nor fault; forasmuch as he was faithful,            neither was there any error or fault found in him.        The faithful are meek and obedient.      1 Samuel 2:35           And I will raise me up a faithful priest, that shall do           according to that which is in mine heart and in my mind:           and I will build him a sure house; and he shall walk           before mine anointed for ever.        The faithful are meek and honorable.      1Samuel 22:14           Then Ahimelech answered the king, and said, And who           is so faithful among all thy servants as David, which is           the king's son in law, and goes at thy bidding, and is           honourable in thine house?   The faithful are good examples of living and teaching the principles      and precepts of God.      1Corinthians 4:17           For this cause have I sent unto you Timotheus, who           is my beloved son, and faithful in the Lord, who shall           bring you into remembrance of my ways which be in           Christ, as I teach every where in every church.        In conclusion, a steward for God is required to be faithful. Faithfulness      envelopes several characteristics, among which include:      Truthful,      Concealer of confidences,      Meek and obedient,      Meek and honorable,      Good examples who live and teach the Word.        -Carol Kenreigh
