📣Scripture Reading — Proverbs 3:3-4
“Never let loyalty and kindness leave you! Tie them around your neck as a reminder. Write them deep within your heart. Then you will find favour with both God and people, and you will earn a good reputation.” - Proverbs 3:3-4 NLT
In His Word, God has given us patterns that lead to success. These patterns always are true and apply in every situation. If we want the results He promises, we need to know and apply His principles.
So, what is God’s blueprint for success? It is a life filled with His favour. The Bible makes the incredible promise that when we embrace “loyalty and kindness,” we “will find favour with both God and people.” Why is this important? Because favour can change every part of our lives. It opens incredible doors and results in God’s blessings.
If we want these results, what do we need to do? It starts by being kind and loyal. The Hebrew words here tell us that this also means trustworthy and reliable. If we have a reputation for honesty and integrity, other people come to know that they can count on us. They see we are faithful to keep our promises.
Many people want success but are not willing to pay the price. The choice is up to us!
If we want this success and favour, we must have a consistent lifestyle. This loyalty, kindness, and reliability are part of our attire tied around our neck as a reminder. They are to be ingrained into our character as if written deep within our hearts.
Do you want a favour in your life—acceptance with God and with the people you come in contact with? Do you need a favour in your finances and relationships…in your church and community?
Then apply this life-changing Biblical principle. Cultivate a lifestyle of kindness and loyalty. Seek to be faithful in keeping your promises. Demonstrate reliability and consistency. And ask God to help you to be a good testimony for the Gospel.
Prayer: Father, help me to be a person of integrity, who is reliable and trustworthy, and who speaks the truth. Thank You for Your favour. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
