As I was reading this verse, I got to thinking on the words, faithful in prayer. Do we ready know what the word faithful means? Most people don’t act like they do. The dictionary says faithful means, loyal, constant, staunch, steadfast, devoted. It goes on to say, firm in adherence to whatever one owes allegiance. Faithful implies unswerving adherence to a person or thing or to the oath or promise by which a tie was contracted. It means that there will be a pattern of praying that looks like devotion to prayer. It won’t be the same for everyone. But it will be something significant. Being devoted to prayer looks different from not being devoted to prayer. And God knows the difference. He will call us to account: have we been devoted to prayer? Is there a pattern of praying in your life that can fairly be called “being devoted to prayer”? Remember that one line in the dictionary definition. “firm in adherence to whatever one owes allegiance.” Who do we owe our allegiance?
