Wording of this Handout:
Doing What You Say
Have you ever had this experience? Someone tells you they will be coming to see you on such-an-such a time, so you stay home and wait, but they don't come. On top of that they don't even ring to tell you they won't be coming, and when you see them they don't apologize.
Reluctantly, that this has happened to me so often I almost expect people not to come! And this frustrating event goes for many Christians too...sad but true.
I have learned that people are unreliable. They cannot always be trusted. Christians are sometimes even worse than non-Christians when it comes to unreliability, and of course this should not be!
But there is something else I have learned - God is always reliable. Every promise He makes is trustworthy. He is never early or late. His timetable is faultless, and we can always expect to happen what God says will happen.
The Bible says, "Guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Saviour, and my hope is in you all day long."
Psalm 25:5 (New International Version)
