CONSISTENCY IN SEEKING THE LORD
Jesus told them a story showing that it was necessary for them to pray
consistently and never quit... Luke 18:1(MSG)
The Lord spoke about a parable in Luke 18 about a widow who not give up on coming to wanted a judge to avenge her of her adversary but the judge did not want to do it. Nevertheless, she did him and asking him to avenge her. Eventually it came into his heart, even though he did not fear God or man, to do what she asked him to do because he said to himself, "She will weary me by her continual coming to me." Needless to say, she was consistent in bugging him about what she wanted. This woman did not come to him once in a blue moon or once in a while when she felt like it. She was there at his door all the time, probably even everyday, because this mattered so much to her. The Lord then tells us in this parable, "And shall not God avenge His own elect, which cry day and night unto Him, though He bear long with them?"
(Luke 18:7).
The key to seeking the Lord and finding Him in our daily life is in consistency. Talking to the Lord is one of the most powerful acts we can ever accomplish in this life, not only for ourselves but also for the world we live in. It will not only change us, it will also affect people around us for good. Talking to God is tapping into the source of power that made the world exist. Without God we would be all non-existent on this earth right now, no one would be alive right now. Think about it. God made the heavens and the earth just simply by speaking them into existence. Our continual coming to Him will tap into that power! Ensure that you put your life in order to seeking the Lord consistently this year.
PRAYER:
Father, thank You for the gift of a new year. Please, help me to seek You consistently this year in Jesus' Name.
