Day 4: Consistent Faith—Not Just Convenient Faith
Convenient faith is faith that is only activated when it suits us or when we need something from God. But God calls us to a consistent, enduring faith that perseveres through waiting, hardship, and the slow work of transformation. Like the runner who finishes the race with the help of his father, we are called to keep running, trusting that God will carry us when we fall and finish the race with us. Consistent faith is not about shortcuts or quick fixes, but about daily trust and obedience, no matter the season.

Hebrews 12:1-2 (ESV)
Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.

Reflection: Where have you been tempted to take shortcuts in your walk with God? What would it look like to practice consistent faith, even when it’s inconvenient?
