When you want to become a spiritual leader on your football team or in your classroom or in your work force, whatever it may be, you've got to be consistent. People have to see you in the same light, no matter what you're going through. That comes with getting into the Word and finding out what God has for you and His will for you. Rather than being concerned with what the world has to offer, you need to be concerned with what Jesus Christ accomplished on Calvary.

You know this has to be read carefully! I can imagine us sometimes being apt to read "consistent" as consistent to what we think as an individual, and not consistent as searching the scriptures to see what insight they might bring to God's preference! Good thought!
