Showing Up

"But as God is faithful, our word to you was not ‘Yes’ and ‘No’" (2Corinthians 1:18). 

Woody Allen said that "Eighty percent of success is showing up." I would add, "on time." 

I once had a friend who was always late for appointments. He justified his tardiness by saying he had so much to do. I 'lowed as to how, if he couldn't keep his word, he was busier than God. 

God always keeps his word: He doesn't say “Yes” and mean “No.” 

Nor should we.
