The bigger better deal. Has this ever happened to you? It's happened to me. You tell a friend that you will help him move some firewood next weekend. The night before you should be going to fulfill your commitment, you get a phone call from someone you sort of know. They have invited you to join them on an all inclusive trip to Las Vegas. Absolutely free. What would you do? I can hear some of crying out that this is way to drastic! How about this scenario. You have made the same commitment as above. Friday night you get a phone call from someone that you would really like to hang out with. He has invited you to come over Saturday and watch some football. This could be your one and only chance to connect with this person.
This is what I mean by the bigger better deal.
“One loyal friend is worth ten thousand relatives” - Euripides (Greek playwright, c. 480-406 BC)
It comes down to the value of Loyalty. What are you loyal to? Sports team. Spouse. Employer. Brand of coffee. Coke or Pepsi. Employees. God. Family. Friends.
Brady Boyd, Senior Pastor at New Life Church in Colorado Springs, mentioned this topic in a recent gathering. When it comes to sports. When the Denver Broncos were 6-0, everyone one was a Bronco's fan. Then week 8 came. After the bye week, they couldn't win a game. The Colorado emergency rooms were full of broken ankles from people jumping off the band wagon. The Bronco's ended their season 8-8. What is it about those fans who will stay loyal thick or thin? But then there is the employee who changes jobs every year or two. The person who has been married 5 times.
Loyalty is proven in adversity.
Are you characterized by the BBD? Are you running a little low on loyalty? Don't be the bandwagon sports person. Don't be the one who will leave their spouse and kids. Don't jump jobs every year or two.
Be LOYAL!
