Is Consistent; Seek Him
Text:
Have you not known? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint or grow weary; his understanding is unsearchable…Isaiah 40:28
There is no need to be upset (or even surprised) when the people in our lives let us down. The best of men are still limited. Although friendships are beautiful, and God calls us to live in community (Romans 12:4-5), and it is important to live amongst others and create relationships, but we must recognize that no one will satisfy us the way Christ will. No spouse, friend or job will fulfill our desire for an unconditional love and acceptance. When the world fails us, and when we fail the people we love, we can have hope in an eternal, perfect life with our Saviour. Men do fail, but Jesus will never fail. Even when we are frustrated with ourselves and our own inconsistency, Jesus is forgiving and offers us an unending amount of grace.
What would it look like if we channelled the trust, dependency and reliance we place on people towards our relationship with Jesus? What will be the result if we hold unto our Stable Jesus than holding unto unstable men? Our lives would drastically change! We can begin to focus and invest in the eternal, not the temporary, and allow Jesus to be our rock! Do not let one more heartbreak, burnt bridge or disappointment distract you from Jesus, who truly holds our heart. We will no longer exchange our love and devotion for our perfect Creator with the sinful, broken people around us. Jesus is the only constant, consistent person in our lives – seek Him and find Him!
Prayer:
Father, I repent from giving Your place to inconsistent men. Help me to seek You consistently in Jesus’ Name.
