January 10: Consistency

Teach me, O Lord, the way of Your statues, and I shall keep it to the end. - Psalm 119:33

Reese Kauffman, president of Child Evangelism Fellowship, grew up in a Christian home where certain habits were instilled at a young age. For example, his mother had a bedtime ritual that Reese has never gotten away from: brush your teeth and read your Bible. Every night during his formative years, he brushed his teeth and read a chapter in his Bible. Even as a young businessman who had gotten away from the Lord, Reese didn't abandon the habit. In fact, one night while Reese was reading Psalm 139 before bed, God spoke to him and got ahold of his life. Now years later, he still maintains the same ritual: brush your teeth and read your Bible.

Perhaps the most important aspect of Bible study is consistency. It's better to study a little in God's Word everyday than to try to absorb lots of the Bible in random study. Find a pattern that works for you, and stick with it. Brush your teeth and read your Bible every day.

A lack of bible study leads to "truth" decay.
