Hello everyone,
We all have jobs or businesses that we do, some started through the development of skills or talents, but amongst all, there are some who stand out from others as a result of their exception, the ones whom many people sort after. What exactly makes them different from others who are involved in similar jobs of theirs? The Amplified Bible puts Proverbs 22:29 thus, “Do you see a man diligent and skillful in his business? He will stand before kings; he will not stand before obscure men.” The Message puts this same verse thus, “Observe people who are good at their work—skilled workers are always in demand and admired; they don’t take the back seat to anyone.” Diligence is key at anything you put your hands to do, and this is what people are looking out for. The amount of diligence you put in a thing determines the result of your finishing.
I never really had an issue being committed when working with God, but the issue I had was being consistent. However, even when we intend to be consistent, attacks come from different angles from the devil. But that is not enough excuse for a Son or Daughter of God to always fall victim to the vices of the devil. By the level of consistency, you put to a thing, you'd get the result of the amount of commitment to reaching the end that you put in the very first place.
You cannot escape attacks or distractions, they will always come, and they must come to determine how strong we are and who is fooling who. A person who is diligent and walks with God is likened to the house on the rock and the house on the sand. Both houses were built exactly the same, they both faced the same attack and disturbances, but one crashed while the other stood very strong. What was the difference? It was their foundation. One stood on the rock [which didn’t crash], while the other stood on the sand [which crashed]. Jesus said we are to listen to His words and put them into practice [referring to the house on the rock], and not be like those who listened to His words but didn’t put them into practice [referring to the house on the sand] (ref.: Matthew 7:24-27). And this practice requires diligence.
Meditation on the word requires diligence because it is through this that you commune better with the Holy Spirit, Who would tell you what you’re to do here on earth and how to do it; it takes commitment to start and diligence with consistency to finish. It is because of this that you’re noticed and looked for. Jesus was committed and consistent with His work here on earth. He was also very diligent which was why everyone looked for Him and was why He was able to finish the work His Father sent Him to do.
You may have issues with consistency, why not commune with the Holy Spirit, because He will show your path of being consistent easily. Walking with the Holy Spirit helps you to attain perfection. Do not be discouraged if it appears nobody noticed you at the beginning, it is only the beginning, this is where consistency plays its game. It is the consistent and diligent one that gets an excellent result, so be diligent.
May the LORD bless you and keep you, make His face shine upon you. May the LORD be gracious to you and lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace. AMEN.
Why not accept Jesus today if you haven’t. Pray out loud, “Jesus, I confess that You are my Lord and Saviour. I believe in my heart that God raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I receive salvation now. Thank You for saving me!” Congratulations, you’re born again, you are now brand new!
