Consistent Faithfulness
There is a great temptation for followers of Jesus to seek
consistency in their convictions and beliefs. This obsession often distracts
them from really being devoted to God. The most important consistency of the
follower of Jesus is not to a principle or an idea but the divine life in us.
The life of the Spirit in us wants us to know the mind of the God. We cannot
know the mind of God when we are fixed on one idea about how God works in the
world. It takes great humility and faith to wake up each morning, asking, “God,
where and how are you going to work in the world through me today.” It is
easier to be fixed on idea of God than it is to be consistently faithful to God
because God will humble our religious pride when we are faithful. – Ron Friesen
