Friday, May 15th. Today's cherished Nugget from guest blogger Pastor Bill.

A shepherd once came to the city of Edinburgh from the country. He had his small, obedient dog with him. While there, the man died and was buried. That little dog lay upon its master’s grave—not for a day, a week, or a month, but for 12 years.

Every day at one o’clock a gun was fired in the castle of Edinburgh. When the gun was fired, the dog would run to the local baker who gave it food and water. Then back to the grave it would go. This continued until the dog died 12 years later. That was faithfulness!

So what about you (and me)? Can we be found faithful waiting for the Master? We are told in God's Word,

“...let us run with patience the race that is set before us, Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.”(Hebrews 12:1-2)

Let us be found faithful.
