Lastly, at least on my list, God is looking for people who are faithful and consistent. Often the “steady eddies” of Christianity get overlooked. They just do what is right to do, because it is right to do. They do it without fanfare or a drum roll, and with a sweet attitude and a smile. God is looking for those kinds of attributes. He’s looking to say, well done, my good and faithful servant. Not just well, you’re done! When we do our best for God, we can enter into the joy of the Lord. One of the privileges of serving God my whole life is that I don’t have a time that I can look back on when I was sowing wild oats, or that I fell away from God for a while. I am thankful for parents who raised me in church and who were always there when God’s Word was being preached, or if there was any activity that we could be involved in. They made church a priority. It was a very balanced upbringing. They loved God and were the same at home as they were at work or in church, or at school. There was a consistency that I learned to follow. We were not only taught to be faithful, it was modeled in front of us. How thankful I am for that. Because of that, I have always loved God’s house. I have always loved God’s people. I have always wanted to serve God with my whole heart. How about you….what are you modeling to your kids? Do they see you have a desire to stand up for truth, to be a faithful, consistent person everywhere you are? Is church life and following God a priority, or is it on the back burner for some other time in your life. I want to encourage you….seek God first. He’s looking for those who do just that. He’s seeking for you!
