The Faithfulness Of A Dog

Sunday, November 7, 2021

There was a Collie named King. When King's master, Del Plato, was killed in a car accident, King stood by as the casket was lowered into the ground. Every day after that, King went to the cemetery to visit his master's grave. If he was tied up, he'd break the ropes to get to the grave. We live in an age of little faithfulness. It spills over to the church. Believers make commitments to help out; but when they don't feel like it anymore, they stop. When it costs something to follow the Lord, or requires something to maintain their commitment, they give up. When it means being unpopular with the crowd, they compromise. We can learn a lot from the dog, King. He stayed devoted to his master even after his death. Don't we owe more faithfulness to Messiah? Let's stay by His grave, and bear the reproach of the cross. Let's be faithful to Him and each other. The Lord is the Master of masters and deserves more devotion than the faithfulness of a dog.rn
