APPLICATION
Can you be stubborn? Yes, I know, we all can be stubborn about many choices that we make. This can be a child who is dug in on what they want and being so committed to their desire that we usually give in and give them what they want? We as adults also become unmovable when we are set in our thoughts and ways. We stand firm, bracing for whatever may come our way to knock us off course of the path that we are traveling on. This behavior can be for the good or for evil.
Followers of Jesus Christ are commanded to stand firm in the faith. To stand firm in One Spirit, the Holy Spirit or the Spirit of Christ, living in love and fellowship with other believers. Stand firm in the truth, the Word of God, the Bible.
Wait upon your Savior who will return from heaven, where your citizenship is. Give yourself fully to the Lord’s work. Press on toward the goal to which you have been called. Let nothing move you from the hope and faith found in your relationship with the one, true, living God. Let not the trials, tribulations, and tragedy that come your way shrink the size of God in your mind; He is sovereign and mighty! Be strong and very courageous, for the Lord your God is with you. Stand Firm!
