God Wants Me to Be Faithful

Walking with God
Genesis 6:5-9

Read the Bible through:
AM -
Esther 1-2 : PM - Acts 9:1-22

This is the genealogy of Noah. Noah was a just man, perfect in his generations. Noah walked with God (Gen. 6:9).

The reason Noah was chosen by God to build the ark was because he walked with God. His walk set him apart from everyone else. Because Noah walked with God, he was righteous and blameless. His faithfulness made him obedient and trusting.

Our daily walk with God can open the way for us to obey and trust God in the same way. When assignments come, we are prepared to meet the challenges because of a proven track record resulting from our daily walk with God.

Our southern Baptist missionaries are called by God because of their faithfulness. For example, Monte and Janet Erwin have served as Christian education missionaries in Latvia. Their walk with God is a witness to the people of Latvia as they minister and live among them. Even in times of great personal sacrifice, they remain faithful to their call.

Lord, guide me to walk with You in such a way, that people see You in me.
