Maybe you can think of a few reliable things in your life. Any of them would have had to prove true to a purpose over a period of time. Those things gave the same result after successive trials. In particular you could rely upon them to stay the course of their purpose in the heat of the day. A reliable car that carried you over a barren wilderness. A reliable house that held up when buffeted by some massive winds. A reliable coffee maker that never failed you on your sleepiest mornings. Reliability doesn't always get the attention in life but it is most essential to living and enjoying that life.
Have you ever thought! I want to be reliable? Is that the mark you wished set upon your tombstones? God says this is what I am looking for in my servants. I am looking for the ones who endure in the hard labor of bringing people into completeness in Christ. Its hard because people's flesh gets in the way… the contagion of our sin gets in the way… the weeds of weakness still flourish in this garden and sometime seem to over take us… keep at it God says Reliably doing your part. As I see it the requirement of the pastor then is not to quit… it is not to give in to the suggestion that we can now retire from our duty of serving others and of serving up to others the Lord Jesus.
