Standing Firm!

"Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong." -I Corinthians 16:13 (NIV)

There are times in our lives when we are faced with choices that may require us to take a stand. After we take a stand, others may talk and say things that are untrue. While these things may make us uncomfortable, we need to have courage and strength to stay the course of what is right!

When we are taking a stand, we need to be on our guard and ready to face the consequences of our decision. From the time we take a stand through the consequences that follow, we need to listen to and rely on God. If we follow His will, then He will provide us with courage and strength. He will comfort us and keep our senses keen so that we can be on guard. With faith in God, we can stand firm with courage and strength for all that is right!

Follow God and stand firm for what is right, allowing Him to provide courage and strength!

Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for teaching me and granting me courage and strength. Help me to always follow and rely on You. Through Jesus I pray, amen.
