Anyone can resolve to do something for a brief time. Those who achieve great accomplishments, however, are those who stick with their commitments over the long haul.
Few Christians are unaware of things they could do that would strengthen their faith and expand their witness. Our primary challenge is not knowledge, but will. The reason the early church had such astounding success is because they continually did the right things. They strengthened their understanding of Christian doctrine. They also regularly met together for fellowship and encouragement. Finally, they prayed together. The consequence of such behavior was a world turned upside down.
Many Christians today regularly bemoan the fact that they are not experiencing the spiritual victories the way they know they should. Yet these same people carelessly neglect the practices that could provide them the strength they required to attain their spiritual goals. Being steadfast means you are consistent, dependable. It suggests you are not haphazard or fickle. Being steadfast entails doing the right things, not merely when you feel like it or doing so is convenient. Steadfastness implies regularly, consistently, relentlessly, doing the right thing. Are you?
