Consistency

This is going to be a short post (as usual) b/c the big sis and her fiance are coming over tonight for some milk and cookies. I could write about all the awesome things i've been doing this weekend, but instead i'd like to share something God is teaching me. It all started this morning. Had to be at church at the godly hour of 7:15am so the orchestra could practice with the choir before the 8:00 service. I managed to make it on time to rehearsal (yes, i'm obsessed with punctuality), but was mad at myself for forgetting some of Nisha's wedding invitations to give to various people at church. By the time the 9:30 service rolled around I was still very sleepy and not in the best of moods. Only by God's grace did I learn anything during the sermon. What I learned about God is that because of belief in the resurrection I should be consistent. Am I consistently spending time studying God's Word? Am I consistently praying and being disciplined in how i spend my time? Am I consistent in how I manage my classroom or do I grow lazy toward the end of the week? Am I consistent in treating my parents and family members with respect? Wow, I definitely have lots of areas to apply this principle of steadfastness. Praise the Lord for the empty tomb, proving that He is worthy. THAT is what motivates me to be consistent.
