Stand Your Ground
1 Corinthians 15:58 (The Message)
With all this going for us, my dear, dear friends, stand your ground. And don't hold back. Throw yourselves into the work of the Master, confident that nothing you do for him is a waste of time or effort.
I saw a great sign in front of the Faith Christian Church (Washington, IL). It read:
The mighty oak tree was once a tiny nut that stood its ground.
God calls us to participate in gaining ground for His Kingdom. The challenge is that God ways are not the same as the ways of man. God's ways often look unreasonable to the world.
Romans 12:2
Do not conform any longer to the patterns of this world...
Against the pressure to conform to the world we are called to stand our ground. Further, we are to throw ourselves into the work for which God has called us. Keep in mind that no effort made for God will be wasted.
Stand your ground.
