Consistency is a saying of a friend of mine who all but destroyed himself by inconsistency.Knowing the problem does not always guarantee a remedy.Doubtless more Christians have gone down the spiritual path drain or failed to grow in their daily devotional lives more than any other one thing.As we know,it is absolutely essential to get into the word daily,to keep fresh and filled with the spirit,but unfortunately only a small percentage of God's people have found this key.Self discipline is not the hallmark of this affluent age in which we live,but I believe that self discipline is the name of the game as far as success is concerned.Whether it is a Micky Mantle,whose 3-5 hours a night as a youngster hitting his fathers right-hand pitching and his grandfather left-hand pitching produced the greatest switching baseball player of all times,or Terry Bradshaw a premier Hall Of Fame Quarterback,or Paul Anderson whose daily hours of lifting weights made him the strongest man in the world,discipline is the name of the game!Admittedly they had talent,but so do thousands of other people,but they added the discipline of practice to their talent and became established superstars.You will never be consistent in bible reading until you train your mind and body.Ask yourself,are you willing to get up an hour early to study the word?Remember you can't grow in the word unless you study the word.
