Consistency is key. No matter how strong or smart a person is, if they are inconsistent, they will be ineffective. For instance, in baseball the most important position is the pitcher. And time and time again a young gun slinger who is able to throw all the ball like a bullet but is so inconsistent in his performance will prove to be unable to make it in the pros.
Consistency is key. Christianity is all about consistency. Think of all the people who, because of rushes of the Holy Spirit and emotional experiences, have given themselves to Christ, been baptized, even gone to church a few times, yet because of their inconsistency have failed to reach the point of bearing fruit.
Consistency is key. Think of the words of Joshua: "This Book of the Law shall not depart from you mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make you way prosperous, and then you will have good success (Josh. 1:8)."
Consistency is key. While Joshua was specifically addressing the Israelites as they were about to take possession of the Promised Land, his words still ring true for believers today. For living a life that is dedicated to Christ requires that we "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind (Matt. 22:37)."
Consistency is key. This means that we will build good, godly habits and that we will become slaves to those habits. The right word to describe this is practice; to live for Christ is to practice a life that is in love with Him, devoted to Him, and obedient to Him. It is true that this requires an active believer that is intentional to live for Him daily, if not moment by moment. For truly, consistency is key.
