Why is consistency so often replaced with complacency? It's almost like it takes over. You desire to consistently do a thing, and instead it seems like the only thing that is consistent is the complacent. I wonder what happens in the transition? What motivates a thing to become stagnate and eventually forgotten, needing a jump-start intervention later on? Do we train ourselves to rely on our own personal focus intervention to set things right again, jumping from peak to peak, rather than being steadily taken on a journey from one stop to the next? I think things get damaged in the process of setting ourselves up on a mountain top and having to jump all the way back up again when we fall off. We need to stop relying on the "jump" to redeem us, to put us back on track, or to make us consistent-AGAIN! We've got to find the balance of being consistent-which means finding the triggers for whatever causes the complacent to swell and suck the breath out of a life of consistency, whether it's because of routine, boredom, a lack of vision, pride, spiritual emptiness, or whatever it might be... Simple Application: Are you being consistent? A person of prayer? A person in the Word? A good spouse? Dedicated to God's plan for your life? Join me in fighting complacency!
