CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Here is what ChatGPT4 has to say about Consistency. (not as good as what I said)

“Consistency refers to the quality of being uniform, stable, or constant in something over time. In various contexts, consistency can have different meanings:

  1. Behavior or habits: Consistency in behavior or habits means maintaining regular patterns, routines, or actions. For example, consistent exercise or consistent work performance demonstrate stability and reliability.
  2. Thoughts and beliefs: Consistency in thoughts and beliefs refers to having a coherent and logical set of ideas or values that do not frequently change or contradict each other.
  3. Quality or performance: Consistency in quality or performance means maintaining a specific standard or level of output over time, without significant fluctuations or variations. For instance, a product’s consistent quality ensures that customers receive the same experience every time they use it.

In general, consistency is often considered a desirable trait, as it demonstrates reliability, dependability, and predictability. It can build trust, enhance relationships, and contribute to personal and professional success.”

Expectations – Luke 10:38-42

I came into this week with a lot of expectations, spoken and unspoken. I would imagine that you did as well. And to be honest, it’s been a really tough week when it comes to my expectations. Expectations professionally, personally, and relationally. I think one of the best stories on expectations in the Bible comes from Luke 10:38-42, the story of Martha and Mary. I’ve included it below.

What you see in this passage of scripture is a lot of what we go through in life: missed expectations, met expectations, exceeded expectations, and how we respond to these. In this story you see three responses (based upon expectations)

  1. Martha’s response
    1. Lord don’t you care?
    2. Don’t you see me?
    3. Don’t you see all this work I’m doing to prepare for you and others?
    4. Tell her (Mary) to help me. She should be helping me! (I have expectations for her, don’t you see that?)
  2. Mary’s response
    1. Sitting at the feet of Jesus, taking in every word He said
  3. Jesus’s response
    1. I see you. I care deeply about you. I care about your expectations.
    2. I also care about Mary sitting at my feet desiring to abide in my as I abide in her.

Marha is not wrong for completing tasks, working, and preparing, and Mary is not lazy for sitting at the feet of Jesus.

Did you know you can have expectations of yourself, of others, and of Jesus. Whether you realize it or not.

A couple of questions to think about

  1. Where does this story find you right now, in your season of life?
  2. Where do you find yourself in this story?
  3. What expectations do you have of yourself, others, and Jesus?

Regardless of what your expectations are, and how you respond, Jesus wants to be invited in and wants to meet you right there – in your missed, met, or exceeded expectations.

Her sister, Mary, sat at the Lord’s feet, listening to what he taught. There is only one thing worth being concerned about. Mary has discovered it, and it will not be taken away from her.” As Jesus and the disciples continued on their way to Jerusalem, they came to a certain village where a woman named Martha welcomed him into her home. But Martha was distracted by the big dinner she was preparing. She came to Jesus and said, “Lord, doesn’t it seem unfair to you that my sister just sits here while I do all the work? Tell her to come and help me.” But the Lord said to her, “My dear Martha, you are worried and upset over all these details!
