• Old Faithful is a faithful geyser. It is not the biggest geyser or the highest geyser. But it is the most popular geyser because it is dependable.
• Old Faithful received its name in 1870 by a group of explorers who stood in awe as it spewed its water nearly 200 feet into the air. But they were more amazed when they recognized that it erupted every ninety-one minutes. It is recognized as the most predictable geographical feature on earth by geologists and other scientists.
• Being dependable is essential - especially for the Christian. The Psalmist wrote, "Help, O Lord, for the godly are fast disappearing! The faithful have vanished from the earth!"
• The Christian can always count on God's faithfulness. His Word reveals that time and time again: If He said it, He did it. And because of that fact we can have faith in Him and always count on Him.
• But the question He asks of us is this: Can He always count on us? Will we be faithful to Him in our daily walk? Can He depend on us to honor Him in all things - as the Psalmist says - "because the godly are fast disappearing...and the faithful have vanished?"
• What a sad statement! God is not seeking famous people but faithful people. More than any ability He has given us, He wants our dependability and faithfulness.
• Prayer: We know, Father, that if You are first in our lives You will find us faithful to You, Your Word and Your ways. May You find us dependable at all times. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
• Scripture for Today: Psalm 12:1 Help, Lord, for the godly man ceases! For the faithful disappear from among the sons of men.
