Serve with fervent zeal

Matt 5:16

Your light will shine before men, becausr you live amongst them and the shining of your light is equated to good works.

This doesn't mean they'll to praise you,but praise God because eventually they will see the link between you and thr Lord God. Because they'll see that your light is so special it can only come from Heaven above.

Your good works could be your seal for the Lord.
Titus 2:14
Pslam 69:9
1 Pet 1:22
James 5:16

If you're going to serve the Lord serve him with fervent zeal. These go together and be consistent with it. Let your heart be plain and open. Don't put on a facade as you cannot maintain it for long as the truth will out.

Sincerity equals truthfulness. Always speak the wall even when your back is against the wall. This needs courage and you can get that from the Lord.

Matt 25:21

Loving the Lord is first and foremost, then love your neighbour as yourself. You cannot love your neighbour nor yourself if you do not love the Lord first!

Be consistent

We set resolutions but there is no time scale hence why resolutions tend to be the same for many years. The same goes with spiritual resolutions. But we need to be consistent if we're to succeed in any plans we set for ourselves. But also look to God for He is always consistent.

Dan 6:10

What defines you, what is your custom/manner/habit?
We need to emulate Daniel who woukd pray on his knees 3 times a day. May we be consistent,  a good example of a Christian. We need to be consistent in our belief,that regardless if others acan see or understand it,we would know that God knows.

Dan 1:8, 9, 7 (1-23)
2 Tim 3:12-15

If you don't go through a test you wouldn't have a testimony.

Matt 15:7-9
We must worship God in all truth and faithfulness.  Don't break your focus on God,don't let your mind wonder into anxiety. Be consistent with daily Bible study.

Psalm 1;1
Make a convenant with God and honour that vow. Use what you've and transform your life for God.

Phil 4:8
