Are you Consistent?

There are two kinds of Christians - sprinters and long-distance runners.

Sprinters take off with a bang, run as hard as they can and before you know it, they run out of gas and take a break, sometimes for a long time.

Long-distance runners (marathoners) take off slow, get into stride at a steady pace, and keep going...and going...and going. At some point in the middle of the race, they catch the famous "runner's high."

Daniel was a long-distance runner. He demonstrated consistency in His walk with God. From the time he was a young Jewish exile in the court of the Babylonian Empire to the time he was an 86-year old consultant in the court of the Media-Persia Empire, Daniel lived consistently for God. One could say that he was predictably godly.

What about you? Are you consistent with your faith?

Are you consistent in your prayer life?
Are you consistent in your Bible Study?
Are you consistent in your worship?
Are you consistent in your witness?

Consistency comes with discipline and practice. Doing these disciplines of the faith even when you don't feel like doing them is the key. It's like going to the gym to work out. You and I can always make enough excuses not to go. The ones who don't go don't grow but the ones who do grow and develop into a stronger, healthier servant for God!
