Consistency Over Time
Daily living out your purpose will be painstakingly slow. You'll wonder if you're going in the right direction. However, stay the course as wisdom is justified by all her children.
Yet wisdom is justified by all her children.
Luke 7:35
Know your purpose.
When John the Baptist came, people said he had a demon because of his seriousness and eccentric ways.
When Jesus came, people said he was a drunkard and a friend of sinners because he went to all kinds of sinners’ parties.
They knew their purpose and kept going despite what others said about them.
All of our generic purpose is to be the least in the Kingdom.
Then our purposes get more specific from there.
I struggle with purpose. Therefore, I can be swayed by others and FOMO.
The discipline of purpose is daily walking in the direction of God’s purpose for you. How can you today be the least in the Kingdom inside your life?
Maybe you’re serious.
Maybe you’re an Enneagram 7 and if it ain’t fun, it ain’t worth doing.
Use how God made you to serve others and be the least.
Daily consistency in this direction will feel painstakingly slow. You’ll feel like giving up. You’ll feel like you’re going in the wrong direction.
And yet, consistency over time becomes an overnight success…that’s not so overnight.
This is the children that wisdom produces.
