Standing Firm

Watch, stand fast in the faith, be brave, be strong.

1 Corinthians 16:13

Today's Bible Reading: 1 Peter 5:7-9.

Daniel and his companions were tempted to forsake their godly heritage, but they refused. They even faced a fiery furnace rather than compromise. God honoured their faith and mightily used them. Joseph was betrayed by his brothers, sold into slavery, falsely accused, and imprisoned. Yet through every trial, he remained faithful to God, refusing to sin even when tempted. In the end, God exalted him and used him to save many lives. Moses was surrounded by the luxury and godlessness of the Egyptian court, but cast in his lot with his own people. Lot lived in Sodom and saw the obscenities of that doomed city. God saved him out of it because he trusted in Him. Every one of our Lord’s apostles sealed their faith with their lives. Since then, history has been replete with the lives of men and women who have put God and His way of life above all else. Are you standing firm in the Lord today?

Prayer: Help me to stand by faith in You, Father God, In Jesus name. Amen.
