Devotional thoughts - Lent 2013 - day 35

Thinking of the reference to consistency in today's My Utmost for His Highest devotional, which says in part:

The final stage in the life of faith is the attainment of character, and we encounter many changes in the process. We feel the presence of God around us when we pray, yet we are only momentarily changed. We tend to keep going back to our everyday ways and the glory vanishes. A life of faith is not a life of one glorious mountaintop experience after another, like soaring on eagles’ wings, but is a life of day-in and day-out consistency; a life of walking without fainting (see Isaiah 40:31). It is not even a question of the holiness of sanctification, but of something which comes much farther down the road. It is a faith that has been tried and proved and has withstood the test.

Lord, may I be (found) faithful ... Amen.

1 John 4:17

Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as He is, so are we in this world.

... and my journey with Him continues ...
