While on my way to work I was chatting to God. I realized that it’s so hard for us to be consistent sometimes. We want a nice body, we want a strong spiritual life, we want good grades, we want a savings account with a lot of money, and honestly the list goes on… But if we are honest, we strongly dislike to put In the work. We want a great body so we start working out for the first few weeks and than stop. In life you have to be consistent with all the things you do/want. Someone once told me when someone wants something they will put all their efforts into doing it. I firmly believe that, because I’ve seen it. Trust me I know it can be a lot to be consistent, but you can’t give up. You want financial stability, then be consistent in saving your money, change your habits. In order to be consistent in something you must change your habits. Let’s say you want to go to the gym at 5am, if you sleep everyday at 12pm you think that will motivate you to…? No it won’t! it will actually pull you even more down. A lot of times we ask God for a strong spiritual life, we want to get closer to God. But a lot of the times we are more consistent/quick to feed the flesh what it wants rather than what our spirit wants. We ask God for revelation in his word, we do good being intimate with God for a few days and than fall back into pleasing the flesh. Look, if I’ve learned something over my life, my flesh does not want to do what is good. My flesh does not want me to read the word, my flesh does not want me to take care of my body by going to the gym and eating better. But so what! I must die to my flesh and deprive it of what it wants. I want eternity and living in the flesh won’t get me there. Getting closer to my Father and living for Jesus will. So I must not think about the now and think about my future… if you don’t give up and keep going, you will make it. Right now you may not feel like doing certain things, but the more you do it the more you love it/get used to it and it won’t be as hard as it used to be. For example at my church we do 5am prayer every Saturdays in person, you know how tired I get by the end of the week. If I’m being honest I simply want to sleep in and do nothing. But I must die to my flesh, I need to wake up because it’s my responsibility. I have to get up because I have to sacrifice for my Father. I have to take time to be united and pray with my church because God calls me to be united to my family in Christ. I have to do it out of love for my God, honestly that’s the least I can do for my God. One day as I keep waking up I won’t be as tired, and my spirit will be more happy. My prayer life will be stronger than ever, the way I long for it to. I say that because in the past I would wake up for 5am and the way my prayer life grew, insane! I realized it was worth it and my spirit wanted more! I promise you may not see it at first, but it’s worth being consistent. You’ll get what you long for if you don’t give up, push through!

”Therefore, my beloved brothers and sisters, be firm, immovable, always excelling in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.“
