Have you appreciated the fact that:

• days are 24 hours long – everyday,
• weeks are 7 days – always,
• the sun rises and sets – always predictively?

Can you imagine how difficult life would be if:

• days varied from 16 to 32 hours in no predictable fashion
• weeks might have any number of days without rhythm or reason
• and the sun’s behavior was totally random, came up some days and maybe never set other days?

It is easy to take for granted consistency. Sure some might consider consistency boring. However, consistency makes life much easier and is a huge blessing.

Dad, how dependable are you in the good things that matter? You will consistently:

• go to sleep at the same time
• wake up at the same time
• keep your word
• come home when you committed
• have personal and family Bible time
• help with the children when you are home.

It must be all of the time, consistently! (BTW, It is not a blessing to be consistently late or lazy, nor to be counted on some of the time – the problem is not knowing when.)

“Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord” (1 Corinthians 15:58).
