"I keep my eyes always on the Lord. With him at my right hand, I will not be shaken." -Psalm 1:8 (NIV)
Thomas Jefferson said, "In matters of style, swim with the current; in matters of principle, stand like a rock." We will likely face moments of style and principle in our lives. While it may be easier to just go with the flow of the current, there are times when we will need to stand tall and not be shaken!
Taking a principled stand is not always easy. Whether it is in church, at home, at work, or in society at large, we may face criticisms and personal attacks. Yet we can know that as long as we are talking to and following the path that God has set before us, He will support us. God promises to always be by our side. By keeping our eyes on Him, we can have confidence. We can stand on God our Rock so that we can stand like a rock for His principles!
Allow God to be your Rock so you can stand tall for the things that matter!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for being my Rock and for supporting me. Help me to have the confidence and courage to stand tall, knowing that with You, I will not be shaken. In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
