Having a reputation for being inexpensive isn't much consolation if it

is accompanied by a reputation for having a lack of power and being

unreliable. Reliability is one of the qualities we look for when we

purchase a car. After all, what good is a car that gets 60 miles to the

gallon if it breaks down before we get where we're going?

In the scriptures, reliability is also one of the most important

qualities a person can have. We admire someone who keeps their promises.

Someone whom we can count on to do what they say they'll do. Someone who

is trustworthy.

Fortunately, we serve a God with all those qualities.

"Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He

who promised is faithful." (Heb. 10:23)

"If we are faithless, He remains faithful; He cannot deny Himself." (2

Tim. 2:13)

May the reliability and faithfulness of God motivate you to exhibit

those same qualities in your own life.
