Act Consistently

“Oh, that my actions would consistently reflect your principals.” Psalm 119:5

Has God ever just hit you so hard with something that you know He wants you to change? Well it seems He does that quite often with me. Maybe because I still have so much growing to do and He has so much refining to do, but whatever the case I am thankful He is working in me.

I know right now He is hitting me with our passage for this week, especially in the area of actions. As I sit in His word the refining begins. All that is displeasing is being revealed.

One by one He lays them out and then through His word He helps me work them out. I confess and He forgives a process that never ends. And now my actions are what will reveal if my repentance is true and real.

Prayer: Lord the only way to true spiritual change is through consistency in our actions. It is our actions that point others to You, it is our actions that reflect our time spent with You, it is our actions that speak. Lord create in me actions that are pure, peace loving, and gentle, actions that show no partiality, are willing to yield to others and actions that are sincere. Make them become so consistent within me they begin to be a natural action and reaction. Amen
