Words heard on bended knees… have continued to echo… throughout each day…
And I begin to notice… each part of the definition… the characteristics… of being diligent… speak to different aspects of my being…
Steady… speaks to my emotional being… not easily disturbed or upset… constant in feeling… principle… purpose… or attachment…
A peaceful countenance…
Steady relationships…
Steadfast feelings for His Way… His purpose… His people…
Circumstances… storms… don’t stir up hearts… when He is the foundation…
Earnest… speaks to my mental attitude… a serious and intent mental state… serious… sincere…
Pay attention… to what is said… and what I say…
Test everything… against the Word…
Be sincere… not flippant… put aside sarcasm…
Confusion… doubt… easily confronted… when anchored in the hope of Truth…
Energetic… speaks to my physical being… operating with or marked by vigor or effect… marked by energy…
Do not procrastinate… tap into His energy…
Be full of vigor… with each call… no matter how ineffective I feel…
Do everything… to the best of my ability… strive for excellence…
Weakness… that tempts choosing complacency… becomes power… in the sufficiency of His grace…
Being diligent… an exercise… spiritual discipline… that encompasses my whole being…
