Will You Please be Consistent!

Jesus is always the same yesterday, today, and forever. He isn’t pressured by the struggles of life. Once our heart is fixed on the Master we begin to glean some of that consistency in our life. Once we come to the conclusion Jesus takes care of that which concerns us (Psalm 138:8), and our understanding of the Lord being our strength and our shield (Psalm 28:7), consistency of character becomes easier. While Jesus walked the earth He had to experience all the pressure, demonic influences, and every possible scenario of trouble. He has experienced all the heartache and pressure of this world system, and He was willing to be crucified on the cross for our sins regardless of the shame and pain He went through. He never backed out of His commitment and ministry from Father God. He stayed the same from the beginning of His acceptance of the assignment. We have less pressure in our lives than He had, and we find ourselves formulating plan “B” to avoid discomfort or pain, or embarrassment. Commit to your own hurt if necessary but keep your word of commitment (Psalm 15:4). Your character and integrity depend on it. Without Character and Integrity we become like a ship on the sea tossed around by the wind without direction in life. Be consistent!
