Stand Firm

“Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be men of courage; be strong.” 1 Corinthians 16:13

In an article titled “Stand Firm”, author Bethany Tippin writes: “There is a beautiful story in the Book of Exodus where God describes himself to Moses.

Moses is hidden in the cleft of the rock, and God’s Presence passes before him. God declares himself: “The LORD, the LORD,” Yahweh, Yahweh, I Am that I Am. Exodus 34:5. Then, he describes himself as, “a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness”. Exodus 34:6.

Our God is steadfast; it is the very definition of who he claims to be. It is because he is unwavering and unrelenting that we can trust him. He promises never to leave us or forsake us. Joshua 1:5.

He does not change like shifting shadows. James 1:17.

He is the solid rock beneath our feet. Matthew 7:24.

No matter what life may throw your way, stand firm in Christ.

Thank Jesus that in Him, you can stand in faith and never be shaken.

“The secret of strong and healthy faith is constant cultivation of the presence of God in Christ in life. Centre your attention – your affection on Him – faith comes along without any difficulty. Think of God – not faith!” – Richard C. Halverson

“For now we really live, since you are standing firm in the Lord.” – 1 Thessalonians 3:8
