1 Corinthians 15:58 says, “Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.” Consistent faith is the moment by moment acknowledgment that we cannot do anything apart from the Lord.

It is when we think we can handle it that we fall because of pride. PrIde. Note the capital I in the middle of the word. Pride always reaches into our own resources. I was just reading Romans 4. I love that chapter. Verse 18 says, “Who, contrary to hope, in hope believed…”

Verse 20 says, “He did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith…” Amplified says, “…he grew strong and was empowered by faith as he gave praise and glory to God.” Here we find a key to remaining consistent in faith ~ thankfulness in the face of our impossibility.
