Many people promise anything you ask of them, but make a small matter of keeping their promises. They enter into engagements with you to do this or that, to meet you or call on you at a certain time or to do some favour for you, and utterly fail to fulfil their engagements. This is a very serious matter this lack of fidelity to promises and engagements. Surely we ought to keep sedulous watch over ourselves in this regard. We ought to be faithful to the promises we make, cost what it may. It is a noble thing when we find one whose promises we are as sure of as of the rising of the sun; whose simplest word is as good as his oath; who does just what he says he will do at the moment he says he will do it. That is the kind of faithfulness God wants.
