BE DEPENDABLE

1 Peter 5:10 But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.
Sometimes we may not be as dependable as we think we are. We could ask ourselves a few questions. Are we as devoted to God as we are our family? Are we as anxious to hear from God as we are from an old friend or loved one? Are we as faithful to His service as we are to our jobs or school?
It is kind of upsetting to ask ourselves questions that and not really like the answers.
Increase your faith and increase your service by becoming more dependable. Be a face that people can count on seeing in your area of service. (Believe me when I say that people notice you when you are not there)
I once had the priviledge of leading a lady to the Lord who was very excited about becoming a Christian. She came to church on Sunday Morning, again on Sunday Night and even on Wednesday nights. She approached one of her good friends who was a member of the church and mentioned not seeing her one Sunday night and Wednesday night. The Lady responded, "Oh, hardly anyone goes except on Sunday morning."
This was a hindrance to the new Christian lady and it broke my heart to know that someone was really excited about their Christian walk and they were being discouraged by someone who had been saved for years but was not dependable.
If you want to increase your faith you must make a special effort to be dependable. God will bless every effort you make.
