Benefits of Being Consistent with God (7)
Text: Come near to God and He will come near to you…_ James 4:8
Remember that spending consistent time with God requires discipline, being intentional and effort but the benefits far outweigh the costs of spending consistent time with God, so let’s do better. Here is another of such benefits: When we spend time with God, we are able to trust Him easily. Would you be able to trust someone you don’t know or surrender to someone you don’t know? I don’t think so. Trust is easier when there is a deeper relationship. As such, when we spend consistent time with God, we are able to know Him more. To know more about His Love, Compassion, power and might to carry us through life. As we know more about Him each day, trust gradually becomes easier.
Trusting God benefits us more than it benefits God. Trusting God allows us to offload all our burdens to Him. Matthew 11:28 says, “come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” Resting in God is when we get to that place where we are calm and confident in God’s promises, even in the midst of storms and we can only get here when we choose time with God each day. Proverbs 3:5-6 also says that we should trust in the Lord with all our heart and not lean on our own understanding. In all our ways we should acknowledge Him and He shall direct our paths. Our trust in God leads us to acknowledge God in everything and as we do that, He directs our paths because we learn to lean and rely completely on Him. Again, I pray that this encourages you to continue to be consistent with God if you already are. If not, please strive to develop consistency with God and your life will never be the same.
Prayer:
Father, help me to have a consistent walk with You in Jesus’ Name.
