Even though it seems that you are the only one following
God's Word, Jesus rewards those that are His that remain faithful.
When Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego were the only ones that
stayed faithful to God's commandments, refusing to bow before a golden image,
God miraculously saved them from a fiery furnace. The Babylonian king decreed
no one was to speak anything amiss against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and
Abednego, and the king promoted them in the province of Babylon. You can read
about it in Daniel chapter 3.
When Elijah thought he was the only one left serving the
Lord, God told Elijah He had yet 7,000 that refused to bow their knee to Baal,
a pagan idol. "Yet I have left me seven thousand in Israel, all the knees
which have not bowed unto Baal, and every mouth which hath not kissed
him." - 1 Kings 19:18 KJV
You are not alone! Don't compromise your faithfulness to God
just because it appears everyone around you is. Jesus sees your faithfulness to
Him! And He will be faithful to you!
