Consistency

It is around this time of year that I start thinking about evaluation. I like to look over my year, sort of a 'check up', and then look ahead to set goals and reevaluate purposes for the new year.
One benchmark for my year is always consistency. Did I stay on track with my purposes, or did I end up all over the map? Oswald has some thoughts on this...
"Most of us are not consistent spiritually because we are more concerned about being consistent externally. ...But Paul’s consistency was down deep in the fundamentals. The great basis of his consistency was the agony of God in the redemption of the world, namely, the Cross of Christ."
So the question is begged, "Where is my foundation?" Did I stay close to the cross in my daily grind, or did I waver from time to time, or week to week? There is no doubt that when I stay close to the cross, "the energy of God is released".
