FAITH CAPSULE: Despite our inconsistency, God continues to be consistent towards us.

John 3

In the word of Moses to the children of Israel, there is a testimony of God’s loving care for His children. It is written, “The Lord your God, who goes before you, He will fight for you, according to all He did for you in Egypt before your eyes, and in the wilderness where you saw how the Lord your God carried you, as a man carries his son, in all the way that you went until you came to this place.’ Yet, for all that, you did not believe the Lord your God, 33 who went in the way before you to search out a place for you to pitch your tents, to show you the way you should go, in the fire by night and in the cloud by day.” (Deuteronomy 1:30-33) God, the unchanging changer remains consistent with His love for us. The same way God cares in the Bible days is still the same today. The book of John 3:16 also testifies the love of God stating, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” Absolutely, there is nothing a father need to do for the salvation of his children that God is yet to do. God is a good and caring God.
When was the last time that you acknowledged God as being consistent in His love for you while you had been inconsistent in serving and walking in His word? Despite our inconsistency, God continues to be consistent. If you will take a moment, ask for His forgiveness; thank Him for His unswerving patience in listening and forgiving all your shortcomings and wicked ways. God is worthy of all honor and adoration consistently and not only at a convenient time. Ask God for intervention in every area of your life that does not glorify His name. It is never too late to turn unto Him for forgiveness. God will not overlook sin and the word also confirms in Romans 6:1, “What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it?”  Take the Word of God very seriously because He will bring it, to perform it. The bible recorded in Acts13:18, “Now for a time of about forty years He put up with their ways in the wilderness” Despite His putting up with the Israelites, the Israelites could not maintain the word of His command and they failed to attain from God’s promise. God faithfully endures man’s inconsistency. It is up to man to maintain what He has been given in order to attain His salvation.

Prayer for today: Ask for God to help you that you may not miss out of promise for your life.
