What Does His Consistency Do for Me?

Wow, there is nothing like new revelation from on high! This had never occurred to me. Got this one steppin’ outta the shower this morning. Lately, the Lord has been helping me create consistency in a particular area that I am lacking. Actually, there are many areas, but He’s been working with me on one for now. Guess I gotta get that one down before we move onto the next. Lol. I’m so grateful that He’s doing this because it’s like revelation knowledge for me. Consistency has never ever been my strong suit, and that truly is the understatement of the year! Now, the drum roll please… He is a God of consistency! Therefore, because He is in me and is molding me into His image, I can be consistent, too! Woo hoo! Yep, that’s it. If you didn’t catch the impact, please allow me to expound. Okay, I understood the basic concept that God is the Potter and is molding us into His image, that He is whittling away everything that looks like us and doesn’t look like Him, etc. However, I’d never really pondered who He is that I am not…yet. I had never thought about the fact that He is all those things I wanna be. He has all those traits I wanna have. All those areas where I’m lacking, that I get so frustrated with myself about…He masters. Wow! Did you get that?!? Not yet? Then, let’s keep going with this train of thought. I have been amazed of late with how the Holy Spirit has been developing “the fruit of the Spirit” in me. It didn’t happen like this, but it seems like it was an overnight change. Truthfully, I just realized it overnight. Lol. But I have found that, as God has delivered me of junk and strongholds have been removed, He has been replacing those negative traits and such with the fruit of the Spirit. In years past, I had no patience, no longsuffering, no self-discipline, etc. I must admit, though, the self-discipline has been the last to “come on board”. Anyway, the Holy Spirit successfully played connect-the-dots for me this morning! In that moment, when He said He is a consistent God, He revealed this: whatever He is, I can be, too! Wow, is that freeing or what?!? On the drive to work this morning, He kept saying “I am a faithful, dependable, and consistent God!” So, I looked @ my life and realized that I, too, have learned to be faithful and dependable in “my new life”, unlike my old life. Hallelujah! And now, He’s teaching me consistency. He went on to confirm these things. If He said it, He’ll do it. If He started it, He’ll finish it. If He promised it, He will fulfill it. If He did it before, He will do it again. He is not a man that He can lie. Do you really get that? He is a consistent God, not one way today and another tomorrow. “He is the same yesterday, today, and forever.” If He promised you something last year, He meant it and has not forgotten. It will come to pass! If He began a work in you or gave you a dream, He will bring them to pass. Not only that, He is actively @ work because He is a consistent God. He is not on break. He did not sit down on the job. He is consistently at work in our lives, working all things together for good, every day…when I feel Him and when I don’t, when I see His hand and when I don’t. Regardless, He is moving, He is working, He is active because He’s a God of consistency. Let this truth set you free, free to know He is at work for you and in you until you completely resemble Him. Whatever you want to become, whatever changes you want to make, as long as they’re in line with Who He is, He can and will work consistently in you to bring those changes to fruition. Truly, in this consistent God, we find everything we need and need to be! :)
