BE CONSISTENT!!

"Wherefore, seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses". Hebrews 12:9. My friend, this passage shows me a group of consistent people like you and me. No matter what they encounter in their life, they overcame it by faith in God. Stop being a YOYO Christian. One day UP and next day DOWN! Do you know that Consistency is a mark of maturity. Fads and emotions may come and go, but people who can be consistent will be successful in putting their knowledge into practice. Man: it isn't all about how you start the race, though that is very important, or how you finish is more important. God is interested in our running faithfully all the way. Christian living is not like our "Diet Plan" or"Exercise Plan". Don't stop your Christian running when you crave something or hurt somewhere. The opposite of the "consistent" person is the "convenience" person. What do you mean, you may ask? OK, here we go: 1) Convenience people are emotion based; consistent people are character based. 2) Convenience people do what is easiest; consistent people do what is right. 3) Convenience people have a selfish mind-set; consistent people have a servant mindset. 4) convenience people quit during tough times; consistent people continue in tough times. God wants us to walk in obedience, minute by minute and day by day. Does that describe you buddy? Stop being up and down and in and out. Our God will enable you and you can demonstrate the power of a consistent life like Abraham, Moses, Joshua, David, Daniel, Paul, and YES OUR LORD HIMSELF WHEN HE LIVED IN THIS WORLD. Now remember, Failure in people is caused more by lack of determination than lack in talent. TADA!!!!
