Consistency

1/22/2018

This coming week we get to celebrate National Lutheran Schools Week (NLSW), here at Grace. This is always a fun time of the school year, but one thing it isn't, is consistent! WE don't do many things the same during this week.

Consistency, is an important part of life. How consistent are you? Do you adhere to the rule you make? Do you expect others to adhere but you don't? This is a tough concept to teach at the 4th & 5th grade level. I had to have this conversation with one of my students this week. I had to explain, that if I made an exception to the rule for her, I would be breaking the rule; not easy to understand the chain of events.

I think that is why I really like this year's theme for NLSW "It's Still All About Jesus" - "Jesus Christ the same Yesterday, Today, Forever - Hebrews 13:18" Our God, never changes, He stays the same!

It doesn't matter what we do, Jesus loves us and forgives us. Jesus gives us a consistency that is missing in the world; a consistency that has been missing in the world; a consistency that will always be missing in the world, but Jesus will never turn away from us.
Jesus led by example. One example that often comes to mind is when Peter denied Jesus at a time most crucial in Jesus' life. Peter was questioned three times if he knew the LORD. Three times Peter said NO! Each time he was more emphatic that he did not know the LORD, yet when they were together our LORD took Peter back into the discipleship. He even reinstated Peter and showed Peter how to minister to the sheep (John 21:15-25).

Our LORD knows what He expects from us and when we can't, and never will measure up, He has made a way for us. He himself has taken our place. This won't change. The promise was first made to Adam and Eve and it never changed. The promise was fulfilled through Christ's birth, death, and resurrection. The promise is fulfilled as we live out our life in HIM. The promise will be fulfilled when we each enter the kingdom when we take our last breath on earth.
Yes, Jesus Christ is the same Yesterday, Today, and Forever.

Consistency in the movement is the key to attaining victory. I think it is one of the pivotal ingredients of success accomplishment which is more significant than anyone else. Being consistent is about giving your 100% dedication to an assignment. In other words, you are consistent means you have the ability to stay engaged without any distraction. In my opinion, it is about repetition. The tradition of consistency is not about attaining sudden upshots, rather it is about making improvements over a lasting spell.
