Enduring Faith

James 1:4

We're very fickle in our faith, aren't we? We are inconsistent, ambivalent.

We sing"My faith looks up to Thee"...until the medicine stops working, until the lights go out, until the bill comes due and we don't have what it takes to pay it. Until our grades slip or our career takes a turn or we lost a mate...

How do we learn consistent faith?

We learn it one day at a time. We learn it through endurance.
