James 1:4 And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.
Habit and routine are part and parcel of life, these help us to do the things that needs to be done. When we work outside of these routines and habits we find that unless we are very conscious of what we are doing we are likely to become disorganised and start to do things outside of patterns of our normal behaviour. So when you water the garden you start one side and then end on the other, you do not water a little bit here and a little bit there, because you are likely not to water parts of the garden. In the same way you plant seeds in rows, orderly and at the right depth.
To do something properly you must focus on what you are doing and stop being distracted by other tasks or influences, in this way you get to finish what you are doing. There are those things, thoughts and people who will distract you from the task at hand, and it is the discipline and routine that helps you to overcome these distractions. The less disciplined you are the more likely you will be to be distracted. This applies to your daily tasks, the challenges, and most of all your walk with Jesus Christ.
When your Christian walk is bound into your daily disciplines and your focus is on doing what pleases God, then it becomes natural to achieve.
Be encouraged today to stay disciplined and focused on what needs to be done.
David
Point to ponder: If you think like a Jack Rabbit, you jump around like one.
Question to consider: Are you disciplined and focused?
