Word of the Year: Righteous Consistency

Proverbs 21:3 

To do justice and judgment is more acceptable to the LORD 

than sacrifice.

Yearly, I have been picking a thought, a word, to direct me, to challenge me.

In 2012, it was contentment.

Would I accept God's plan as best,

regardless of my own plans and desires?

In 2013, it was dependence.

Would I leave my life completely in God's hands?

Would I refrain from trying to "move" God's hands?

Yes, the thoughts were similar ...

I am a tough nut to crack sometimes.

This year, I desire to be steady, consistent, trustworthy ... 

Righteous Consistency.

I want to challenge others by my words, thoughts, and actions.

I want to be faithful in my tasks.

I want to do right.

In many places, the Bible reminds us that God wants obedience - 

more than activity,

more than outward show.

I want that kind of obedience!
