TFTD: “Wait for the Lord; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the Lord!”

–Psalms 27:14

Dependability is a scary thing. It goes hand in hand with responsibility and leadership as well. Being dependable means that we have someone relying on us to come through or complete something that we either said we would do, or was assumed that we would do. Internship has proven that dependability is one thing that cannot be taken for granted when it comes to leadership. You need to be places and do things that you say you will, and do them on time because others are waiting on you for those things to be done. When you don’t meet those requirements you end up letting others down or causing yourself more worry and frustration because you didn’t come through like you said you would. Thankfully in the church there is forgiveness, and a God who is more dependable than we could ever imagine.

            Our God is as dependable as you can get. Imagine that you are the president of a company with 7.1 Billion people. There is going to be a lot of responsibility put on your shoulders for things to get completed and needs that need meeting. There is no way that we could do it without help right? Thankfully God can. He is the president that has taken all 7.1 billion people under His wing, individually, and asked what they need and what He can do to help. However, He is more like a father, giving to us when He knows it’s best for us. You can depend on Him day and night, in health or tragedy, good or bad. The more you depend on Him the more you find that He comes through for you. How wonderfully amazing!

“The more we depend on God the more dependable we find He is.” –Cliff Richard
