Be Reliable
Wednesday, April 10, 2024Key Verse
“My son, fear thou the Lord and the king: and meddle not with them that are given to change” (Proverbs 24:21).
Text — Proverbs 24:19-22
Message
To be reliable entails being consistent, credible, and dependable in carrying out one’s duties and responsibilities. Being someone others can rely on is a trait that is necessary for establishing and sustaining strong and healthy relationships in all spheres of life. The reliability of any service provider is seen in the quality of its services, and only its clients can vouch for that. What kind of Christian are you? Are you trustworthy to the individuals you interact with every day? Can they rely on you? Above all, can God rely on you?
Today’s reading provides insight into how to live a good life. It advises one not to get envious, angered, or disappointed by the activities of terrible individuals because they will not live forever. Instead, we should concentrate on doing good deeds, trusting and delighting in the Lord, and we will find fulfillment and satisfaction in life. People may doubt your integrity as was the case of Potipher who believed the lies of his wife against the holy Joseph. Yet, regardless of the acts of others, being consistent in leading a moral life brings peace and happiness.
