Perseverance

It has almost been 2 months now and I haven't been doing my devotions. Life can be soo full of excuses. When you want to do something which glorifies God, you can be sure there will be something which stops you from doing just that.
Though I miss the times, I now learn from my own mistakes that perseverance and discipline is the key.
1. Procrastination is the thief of time: I now notice that I wake up 30 minutes later than before, thus giving me no time. My lack of discipline always make me rush for work. This rushing really frustrates things. You forget things, you scurry around. You are not in charge of your day but allow your day to take charge. Instead of managing the seconds in my life I chase them. As a result, this menace cascades and a find the whole day unproductive.
2. When you stop spending time with God, you create a distance. Suddenly life feels helpless and lonely. You feel as if God isn't there. You seem to loose the spiritual connection. It actually hasn't gone anywhere. The connection is there and always be but if you do not login, it is as good as zero connection.
3. We must push ourselves. If you cannot push yourself to wake up on time, chances are that you will not push ourselves when times get tougher. The simple things we do will certainly affect the harder things we do. So time to push myself.
