It’s such a joy to be around people who are consistent. They are stable, knowing that God is in control. Their actions and their mood aren’t thrown off by every little thing. Jesus is the ultimate example of consistency; nothing deterred Him from His mission of facing death for us.
As followers of Jesus, our mission is to consistently lead people closer to God. So many things threaten to keep us from that goal, but let's refuse to be deterred. God encourages His people that they'll be rewarded - if they don’t quit. Let’s always be pushing the work of the Lord forward – in whatever way that looks like in your life. Maybe it’s sharing the good news of the Gospel with someone who doesn’t know God. Maybe it’s choosing to take the time to mentor someone who just came to know God. Maybe it's refusing to let a negative attitude consume you.
Let’s consistently focus on advancing the work God has given us today, and we will certainly be rewarded by an eternally-powerful God.
