Whatever you do for the Lord be consistent about it—it will make all the difference!
Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel; And in nothing terrified by your adversaries: which is to them an evident token of perdition, but to you of salvation, and that of God. Philippians 1:27-28
I recently heard a story about an old miner. He had been working this gold mine for many years and gave up. He sold the mine, lock, stock, and machinery. An old scrap metal man bought the mine and its contents. He was about to start scrapping the metal when he said, “I’ve never tried mining and I’ve got all this equipment, why not give it a try for a few days.” He dug three feet and hit one of the largest gold deposits ever hit. Someone asked the old miner what he thought. He said, “Don’t stop three feet from victory!”
Where ever you are in your Christian walk, don’t give up or give in! Don’t give up on serving the Lord because it is worth ever ounce you invest in Him and in others! Don’t give in to the pressures this life throws at you! Be consistent in your walk with Jesus, you never know when someone is watching you!
God has got something for you child of God! And it’s something better than a bunch of gold! So be consistent! Waiting if necessary, studying with an expectation, and witnessing to a lost, dying, hurting world to make a difference!
