I did have my period of silence towards the middle, but I was able to get back on it! I am grateful that I have stayed consistent and kept up with posting these past couple of months.
Consistency is a trait that in the past I have struggled to maintain. (Did you catch those words of faith?) I came up with such great ideas, started out with vigor, and only wound up dropping my plans after a period of time. I was aware of my fickle behavior, and I would sometimes avoid starting projects out of fear that I would never finish them.
Not any more! I have officially taken on the Faithful Spirit!
When I restarted blogging, I went to the Lord and prayed for His help. I let my friends and family know what I was working on to hold myself accountable. I pushed past laziness and adapted to change in order to stay faithful to the cause. And, look, here I am still blogging today! (If you all really knew, you’d be shouting right now with me.)
I am now going to take this approach with all of the plans I feel the Lord is calling me to take on. No more half-done dreams!
We all have areas where God is calling us to be faithful. Whether it’s on the job, in ministry, at home, or just in our relationship to our Father, we each have individual areas where we must keep up consistency.
Faithfulness is a trait that requires constant care and upkeep. It’s easy to throw in the towel and give up when things grow difficult or inconvenient. Yet it’s when we choose to press through and do the hard thing that we reap the better reward.
Think about it. Some of our greatest joys came from places where we dug in our heels and remained faithful and consistent to the goal. So, keep it up! Hang in there! Remain faithful in the face of adversity (or your own frustration). You’ll feel so much better if you finish strong.
Verse of the Day: A faithful man shall abound with blessings… Proverbs 28:20a
