Reliability
Yugo (yoo’-go)
n. 1) Small, economical, Yugoslavian-built automobile.
v. 1) What doesn’t happen when you press the accelerator.
~~~
Q. How do you double the value of a Yugo?
A. Fill the tank with gas!
~~~
What do Yugos have in common with Ferraris?
– A Ferrari can go from 0 to 60 in 4 seconds.
– A Yugo can go from 0 to 4 in 60 seconds.
Actually, a Yugo CAN accelerate as fast as a Ferrari, if you give it a
fast enough running start, so it clears the cliff’s edge…

A man entered an auto parts store…
Man: “I need a windshield wiper blade for a Yugo.”
Clerk: “Well, only if you throw $20 into the trade.”
~~~
Q. Why does a Yugo have rear a window defroster?
A. To keep your hands warm as you push it.
~~~
Q. What comes with every Yugo User’s Manual?
A. The bus schedule.
Having a reputation for being inexpensive isn’t much consolation if it
is accompanied by a reputation for having a lack of power and being
unreliable. Reliability is one of the qualities we look for when we
purchase a car. After all, what good is a car that gets 60 miles to the
gallon if it breaks down before we get where we’re going?
In the scriptures, reliability is also one of the most important
qualities a person can have. We admire someone who keeps their promises.
Someone whom we can count on to do what they say they’ll do. Someone who
is trustworthy.
Fortunately, we serve a God with all those qualities.
“Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He
who promised is faithful.” (Heb. 10:23)
“If we are faithless, He remains faithful; He cannot deny Himself.” (2
Tim. 2:13)
May the reliability and faithfulness of God motivate you to exhibit
those same qualities in your own life.
Have a great day!
