Benefits of Being Consistent with God (1)
Text: Come near to God and He will come near to you…James 4:8
Spending consistent time with God, like many other things in the world, is not simple or easy. There are days when you will just not feel like it or might have to rush out of the house but it doesn’t mean that we should give up. It 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 one of such benefits: When we are consistent in seeking God, we get to know God more and more. As we show up daily to read the word of God, to speak with Him and have Him speak with us, we get to understand the person of God, we understand the heart of God and what is important to Him. We know His likes and dislikes and obtain a general understanding of how to relate with Him.
The word of God, from Genesis to Revelations, is filled with powerful messages about God’s love, compassion, wisdom, power and might among other things. When we show up daily to study His word, we get to see Him throughout generations and see each day, how He showed up for His people, how He even rebuked those who did wrong, His sacrifice for mankind and how He gave His Holy Spirit to us because of His love. We see God in the capacity of Father, Friend, Warrior, Protector, Healer, Provider, Brother, Son and so many more, which allows us to understand Him more and more and how to relate with Him better. We develop a deeper relationship with Him when we spend more time with Him because we know Him better. Get consistent in seeking God; you will be fulfilled you did.
Prayer:
Father, help me to have a consistent walk with You in Jesus’ Name.
