consistency is a divine characteristic

Inconsistency is one of the greatest frustrations of every man.
The history of sin in our inner man has incapacitated us in our
goals and dreams. So often we end up doing that what we don’t
want to do. We give big promises to ourselves and others fully
believing that we are able to keep them.
Time after time again we are humiliated by the fact that we did not
keep our promises, especially the ones we gave to ourselves.
This brings a lot of private pain and condemnation to our soul.
Paul nailed it down with a strong statement, “I know that in me
nothing good dwells”. Rom.8:18
Even the most disciplined people cannot master their lives perfectly.
Needing grace should not be considered a weakness.
It’s a deception to think that we need grace only as a solution
to our failures. We need grace, undeserved favor of God, in our
good times as well.
When we learn to be consistent in receiving grace, we can start
discovering how consistently God actually is on our side.
God loves to give grace.
He is not stingy, trying to keep all his best to himself.
His love is consistent and so is his plan of Redemption.
Nothing and no one will be able to stop the plan of God.
The flesh, the fallen man, has no future.
True consistency is connected with God’s eternal plan for man.
