So,
My
Dear Brothers And Sisters,
Be
Strong And Immovable.
Scripture
1
Corinthians 15
58 So,
my dear brothers and sisters, be strong and immovable. Always work
enthusiastically for the Lord, for you know that nothing you do for
the Lord is ever useless.
Observation
So,
my dear brothers and sisters, be strong and immovable!
The
reason that we should be strong and immovable is found in the 57
verses preceding verse 58! I hope that you take a minute to read the
entire chapter!
Over
and over and over again God reminds me throughout the Bible to be
strong, to be brave, to be courageous! Why does He have to constantly
remind me? He has to constantly remind me to be strong and courageous
because life and all of life's circumstances they tend to overwhelm
me and if left unchecked would leave me cowering in fear!
But
God's Word reminds me that God has given me His Holy Spirit. The same
Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead. (Romans 8:11).
“God
gave us his Spirit. And the Spirit doesn’t make us weak and
fearful. Instead, the Spirit gives us power and love. He helps us
control ourselves.” 2 Timothy 1:7
I
am on information overload right now. How about you?
And
I do want to know what is going on in the world around me as this
outbreak continues to grow. I am not going to stick my head in the
sand and ignore the seriousness of this crisis or think that I can be
careless or irresponsible just because I am a child of God.
But
at the same time I must constantly remind myself that I belong to the
One who set the moon, the sun and the stars in place, the One who
knows how many hairs are still on my balding head.
Application
God
is in control. And He knows what is going on. Nothing is going to
touch my life that my Heavenly Father doesn't allow. He has me in the
palm of His hand.
How
about you? Are you in the palm of God's hand too?
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, thank You for taking care of me. I know that nothing touches
my life without Your permission. I will do my best to stay healthy,
but I am also trusting in You. Help the people around me take this
virus seriously. Use this crisis to get our country's attention. Give
me the boldness and the compassion to help those around me who need
my help. You are All-Powerful. Nothing is too hard for You!
