If an emergency or misfortune should strike today, who could you depend on to drop everything and help. Among my greatest treasures, is the handful of people I know that I can depend on no matter what!
A reputation for being on time for an appointment, meeting, or work; for doing what you promise when you promise to do it, for fulfilling your commitments to spouses, family and friends are all linked to dependability.
Jesus knew a lot about dependability. His disciples carried to their grave the sadness that they didn’t stay awake while He prayed, that they disappeared when the going got rough.
It is an all too unfortunate fact of this life that many people you depend on are going to disappoint you.
Perhaps the greatest fact of eternal life in Christ is that when we enter into a relationship with someone in whom we can depend totally and without reservation.
You can trust in other people, in possessions, looks, and your own abilities all you want, but without trust in the Lord and His promises that are ours in Christ, sooner or later they are going to disappoint you.
Father, thank you for the realization that I am totally dependent upon You for every breath I take, every day I live. Keep me ever mindful that You are faithful and dependable. In Jesus’ name, Amen
Excellent post, doc!
Thank you and may your day be a beautiful and blessed one.
