When Faithfulness Feels Ordinary

The new year often brings new vision, goals, resolutions, and countless other opportunities. I’m not here to tell you that your resolutions will fall by the wayside before mid-February. Maybe they will. Maybe they won’t. But I want to encourage you with this thought: sometimes, we don’t need to start something new. Sometimes, we need to keep doing what we’ve already been doing.

We need to stay faithful, remain humble, and continue being obedient. Just because we don’t see results immediately doesn’t mean we should abandon what God has called us to do. Obedience can feel mundane. At times, it can be boring. But when we hold on and persevere in what God has placed before us, regardless of the circumstances, we will never be disappointed.

Nobody goes to the gym on Friday expecting to see muscles by Saturday. We understand that physical conditioning doesn’t work like that. In the same way, spiritual conditioning requires time, effort, and patience. It’s hard. It’s tedious. But it’s worth it.

If you know what God has called you to do, keep doing it. I’ve never looked back on my life and regretted following His direction. It doesn’t matter how long it takes or how difficult it is—it's always worth it. Stay faithful, even when you can’t see the immediate results.
