“Be on guard. Stand firm in the faith. Be courageous. Be strong. And do everything with love.” 1 Corinthians 16: 13-14
” God is our merciful Father and the source of all comfort. He comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others.” 2 Corinthians 1:3-4
We are to be on guard, stay firm in the faith, be strong, and do everything with love. We must be plugged into the right source in order to stay connected with the one who protects us. Without a close relationship with our Father in heaven we stand no chance. We are weak in this world and the only way to fight the good fight is by listening and doing what he instructs us to do. We must not be anxious about anything but instead keep a level head and pray and listen as we are instructed by the precious Holy Spirit. In the world today, evil is running rampant. Evil acts as though it is superior to the goodness and the love our Lord wants us to display. Evil wants to overshadow the intentions we have through God by showing us as weak and unable to overcome the wickedness that surrounds us. Our faith is being attacked and these attacks will increase until our Lord returns. However, we are told that our God is the source of all comfort. He is beside us through every situation we struggle through. He gives us the strength we need to stand firm and to be faithful in our stance for good and not evil. To become courageous, strong and without fear we must first strengthen our faith in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. We must pray continually. We must praise him for his goodness in our lives and we must read and study his word. As we do these things, our faith will increase, and we will become a person of faith that in not fearful to spout out the name of Jesus and live a life that represents him. We must, however, plug into the correct source each and every day. That source is our Lord Jesus! PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
