Hallelujah for
the consistency of the Lord! Our God never fails. He never grows tired. He never takes a break from attending to His own. He never gives in. He does not get offended. He never, never misunderstands. He always creates. His Word is always the same. Soldier, we have a reason to get up and move when the body seems to resist. We have a reason to choose loving behavior when the unlovely become unbearable. We have a reason to listen carefully to each word and to run to repentance when we are careless. We have a reason to make the body take the posture of prayer when all hell comes against it. There is no weakness in Him. Everything He says is true and our whole weight can rest on the Rock of Ages. Our lives are not to be lived according to convenience or the avoiding of discomfort. We have One who came as a man, and is and was perfect. There is no margin for self-indulgence and no permission to wait for the inclination before obeying. Our Mighty God has come with His indwelling Power in the person of the Holy Spirit and the next few minutes must be lived with all the spiritual integrity and obedience there is. And then the next few minutes. And the next. Soldier, before you know it, you will be Home! |
