Scripture

1 Corinthians 15

58Therefore, my dear brothers, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.

Observation

“Therefore” when you see a “therefore” you need to look and see what it is “there for” and this therefore goes back to the fact that Jesus is no longer in the grave He is alive. And since (therefore) He is alive we should stand firm, we shouldn’t let anything move us, and we should give ourselves fully to the work of the Lord.

I am struggling today not with the work of the Lord, but with clutter and with things that are out of focus. Things that tend to pull us away from the work of the Lord, the Devil knows how to try to get us off track, off focus, and it always seems to be from folks within the fellowship not with the lost that we need to reach.

Application

But…I will still focus on the work of the Lord.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, help me not to lose focus with the nit picking little stuff that bombards us every time we start making headway to be what You want us to be as a church. I pray for victory over the small stuff that the Devil elevates way out of proportion. Lord, help our people walk in victory today. Give them victories and don’t let them be defeated by the Evil one. You conquered him. He is finished. Don’t let him mess with us.
