His Word, Your Word

Matthew 4:4 | NIV
Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’”

The Word of God is the Word we have been taught to guide us and live by.  What about the word of man?  We trust God’s Word; do we trust man’s word?  Should we trust man’s word?  Why not trust man’s word? 

We live in a time where our word is to be our bond, but that bond has been broken by many on many occasions.  It is the goal to work toward living as close as we can to mirroring Jesus and His ways.  Yet we can not keep our word.  From the simplest task of telling someone you will be there at 10:00 AM and you do not arrive until 10:15 AM without communicating you are running late.  There are times when conditions exist that may prevent you from keeping your word but let’s be honest, it has gone way beyond that.  We are not putting our best foot forward when it comes to keeping our word.  It does not matter who the person is that we need to keep our word with, but what matters is your integrity, your spirit, your soul and your dedication to being Christ-Like.

Today take a moment and think about how we can all be better in keeping our word.  God is an awesome example.  How about you become an awesome example.  What is simple is much.

For the word of the Lord is right and true;
he is faithful in all he does.
Psalm 33:4 | NIV 

Can you be faithful in all you do?
Can you keep your word?
