DEPENDABILITY is a big deal to God & should be a big deal to us.

Deuteronomy 7:9 - You know that the Lord your God is the only true God. So love him and obey his commands, and he will faithfully keep his agreement with you and your descendants for a thousand generations.

“You can be committed to church and not committed to Christ. But you cannot be committed to Christ and not committed to the church.” Joel Osteen

Exodus 17: 8-12 - The Amalekites came and attacked the Israelites at Rephidim. 9 Moses said to Joshua, “Choose some of our men and go out to fight the Amalekites. Tomorrow I will stand on top of the hill with the staff of God in my hands.” 10 So Joshua fought the Amalekites as Moses had ordered, and Moses, Aaron and Hur went to the top of the hill. 11 As long as Moses held up his hands, the Israelites were winning, but whenever he lowered his hands, the Amalekites were winning.

12 When Moses’ hands grew tired, they took a stone and put it under him and he sat on it. Aaron and Hur held his hands up—one on one side, one on the other—so that his hands remained steady till sunset.

SPIRITUAL MATURITY is choosing what is RIGHT over what is EASY.

Hebrews 10:25 (NLT) - And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of his return is drawing near.

You kids will MIMIC what you MODEL.

God takes note of those who are dependable & REWARDS those who are FAITHFUL.
