Godliness is never accidental. Victory is never coincidental. Both, Godliness and victory, take up-front, daily, intentional consistency. In Daniel 1, Hebrew boys were ripped away from family and friends and taken 900 miles away to Babylon for the purpose of saturating them into the Babylonian culture. Daniel 1:8, “Daniel resolved not to defile himself with royal food and wine. Daniel was willing to take a stand and not let the Babylonian culture indoctrinate his mind and steal away his soul. He knew he needed God, he knew he could not do it alone. So he resolved to eat only vegetables and wataer, so he could stand firm.

What happened? Verse 11, After 10 days they looked healthier and better nourished.

What did God do for them? Verse 17, Gad gave them knowledge and understanding.

How do we reach consistency? We will not reach perfection in this lifetime on planet earth, but we can certainly reach consistency. Genesis 4:7, “Sin is crouching at your door, it desires to have you.”

Satan never wastes a fiery dart by aiming at a spot covered by armor. The bull’s eye is located dead center in our inconsistency. That’s where the enemy plans to bring us down. Consistency in our walk and talk becomes the armor of protection around us.

August 6 through September 6, can help us establish the consistency we need in our lives. If we commit to this 30 day fast of some kind, God will full us with wisdom and understanding. I am excited to see what I learn through this fast. Keep praying about your commitment.
