Consistency

Okay, I know I said I would keep it just to the one question today, but then my wife's exercise video guy said something. He said that it's easy to get out of shape, and difficult to get back into shape. But if you show up for the program, and do the work with consistency, then you will be fully amazed at the results!

And then I started thinking about how true that is in a spiritual sense. How much effort does it take to slide backwards? How hard is it to just let go of conviction and fall? Not very... and that's scary! But getting back up after the fall is not that easy. It takes determination, focus, and (you guessed it) consistency.

And just like the workout program, you have to GO TO THE WORD and actually DO THE WORK if you want to SEE THE RESULTS. Exceptional concept, isn't it? And yet, as simple as it sounds, I would be chief among those who allow the simplicity of it to fly right by me. But it is ALL about going back to the basics, and doing the work.

Fundamentals are, in fact, the building blocks of EVERYTHING!!! Sports, music, speech, writing... these all have their respective set of inviolable fundamentals. Faith is the same way.

Pray together tonight that you will find the consistency to keep on your path. And thank God for the spouse you have been blessed with to hold you accountable to that end!

God bless you all!!!
