Producing Faithfulness
"He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?" - Micah 6:8
Faithfulness is the cornerstone of living a truly good life. But how do you actually produce faithfulness in your own life? The answer lies in walking humbly with God. Psalm 37:23 tells us, “The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD.” This shows us that being good comes before doing good. Faithfulness is not something you achieve on your own, it’s a gift from God, a byproduct of a life spent walking closely with Him.
When you’re walking with God, faithfulness becomes a natural result. Galatians 5:22-23 lists faithfulness as one of the fruits of the Spirit, right alongside love, joy, peace, and goodness. Just as you can’t be truly loving or joyful without God, you can’t be faithful without Him either. But if you are walking with Him, you can’t help but be faithful.
Think about Yellowstone National Park’s famous geyser, Old Faithful. It’s not the tallest or most powerful geyser, but it’s the most well-known. Why? Because it’s dependable, reliable, and consistent—just like faithfulness.
It erupts like clockwork, every 74 minutes, and people trust it to always perform. That’s the kind of faithfulness God calls us to, a life of consistent goodness, dependability, and reliability, a life that reflects God’s character.
Living the good life, according to God, isn’t about success or recognition. It’s about producing faithfulness in your walk with Him. This kind of life is one of steady, reliable godliness, a life that honors God and bears the fruit of His Spirit.
Ask yourself today: Is your life marked by that same kind of faithfulness? Do people see God’s goodness reflected consistently in you? The good life starts with a faithful walk with God, one step at a time.
