“For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him.” (2 Chron. 16:9 NKJV)

Is your heart loyal to God? 

If so, God is looking for you to show Himself strong on your behalf!

What is loyalty? Loyalty is defined as wholehearted fidelity coupled with unswerving devotion and duty. In the Bible, the concept of loyalty is purely relational. This means our whole being is thoroughly committed to someone. It is to be dedicated, devoted, faithful, firm, stalwart, staunch, steadfast, approving, steady, true, unfaltering, unswerving and unwavering to someone. 

God, Himself, is loyal 

“If we are unfaithful, he remains faithful, for he cannot deny who he is.” (2 Tim. 2:13)

Even if a believer fails God will remain loyal. Scripture makes it clear that nothing can snatch our salvation in Christ. The Bible says that God will never leave nor forsake us and He will continue to work in us until the end. 

“Know therefore that the LORD your God is God, the faithful God who maintains covenant loyalty with those who love Him and keep His commandments, to a thousand generations.” (Deut. 7:9 ESV)

What does loyalty look like? It is when you…

“Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength,” 

Joshua is an example of what it meant to be loyal to God. He said…

“And if it is evil in your eyes to serve the Lord, choose this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your fathers served in the region beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.” (Josh. 24:15 ESV)

A Reminder

*Over the next few days I am posting Bible promises every believer MUST know (and commit to memory) to be fully equipped no matter what they are faced with. Meditate on them and memorize them. 

Proven ways to help memorize:

1.     Hand write it on 3x5 card.

2.     Always include the Bible reference at the beginning and repeat it again at the end. 

3.     Read it through several times and think about what it means (mediate on it). 

4.     Say it out loud a few times.  

5.     Refer to it throughout the day and say it to yourself (a few words at a time if necessary) until you can say it correctly without looking.
