Standing Firm

 How are you doing today? I trust that all has been well and that you are standing firm not allowing anything to make you lose a foothold in your walk with God. 

       I do understand that there are those days that make us question  our faith and make us want to take a break as we do get tired of fighting, tired of starting over, tired of doing the right thing, tired of transformation instead of conformation.  Maybe if we just take a break .....then we will feel better.  Well as tempting as this is we cannot let our guards down, we must stand and having done all we must remain "standing" Yes we must continue to PUSH knowing that God's strength will be made perfect in our weakness.

       We must remember that as the light of the world we cannot hide "undercover" but instead shine our lights so that we and others can see more clearly. It is important to understand that you are not alone and that you have a helper in the person of the Holy Spirit who is waiting to step right in as  soon as you ask him to. What I have come to realize is that when we get tired and overwhelm we are usually trying to do things on our own, rather than trusting God, we are trying to figure out things logically rather than Spiritually, and we are trying to please men rather than God.  

       So let me encourage you today as I encourage myself- Stand firm, stay focused, let go and Let God. The seeds you are planting today at home, in your children, in your community or at your jobs will be the fruit you will reap tomorrow and be able to feed a nation if you faint not.
