Stand Firm...

From Steven Furtick's Blog today:

"God uploaded a verse in my spirit Saturday, and it refreshed my perspective in a profound way. I’ll try to pass some inspiration from the verse along to you piece by piece. I don’t have anything profound to add, but the verse is awfully encouraging all by itself.

1 Cor. 15:58 Therefore, 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.

Stand firm. Nothing is move vital to accomplishing the purpose of God for your life than a spirit of resolve.

• When your stomach starts to hurt in the few days following a big, risky, God-breathed decision, stand firm.
• When you’re tempted to flirt with an old sin pattern, stand firm.
• When critics speak lies about you, stand firm.
• When friends forsake you, stand firm.
• When the money’s low, and your logic says to bail out, but the Spirit of God says don’t back down, stand firm.
• When what you’re preaching isn’t popular, but it’s Biblical and necessary, stand firm.

Let nothing move you."

GOOD ADVICE.
