Be Steadfast
September 25
Therefore, my dear brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always excelling in the Lord’s work, knowing that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.
1 Corinthians 15:58 HCSB
Being steadfast means you are consistent, walking in the Spirit not allowing the flesh room. Whilst this is indeed a challenge it is not impossible if you stay close to the Lord and keep Him as your focus. As we allow things and people of this world room to aggravate us and give our flesh permission to react we become unsteady and wobble.
Immoveability, (new world folks) means you are unable to be toppled by the enemy of your souls. No matter what he brings against you, you cling to Christ tighter. Yes you feel what comes against you but you resolve to seek Christ and His ways. Then, you will excell in the Lord's work.
Christ set His face like a flint towards Calvary. His purpose was to redeem us back. Yes He spent three years displaying the Father's true heart, so we would know what and why we were being redeemed, but His ultimate goal was the cross. He is our Saviour and we honour Him as we make Him our Lord and king.
As we make Jesus our Lord and King we become immoveable amd steadfasr. Amen! Submit yourselves to Him, His character, His ways. Allow Him Lordship in your life and you will be immoveable.
I have had a goal in my life to be greaceful or gracious. I don't think you would call a 62 year old woman who treks, rides motor bikes, jumps off mountains, graceful, as the world sees a graceful woman. However, last night i was paid the ultimate compliment as my travelling companion told another lady that no matter what he threw at me I came back with grace. He praised me highly. I did not know that this is what He saw. I have had my struggles with this emotional man and could have wrung his neck at times but went to the Lord and He gave me grace. It works folks. Submit yoirself to the hamd of the Lord and in due time He will raise you up. Amen!
My greatest joy is knowing that Christ is revealed in me. This is my task whilst on this earth. Amen!
Next week we have one last opportunity to return to Sindhupalchok to oversee the water project. I want to spend time with the women. I have a heart for the women. I know I have the heart of Christ for them. Amen! I am excited in this prospect. It will mean another noisy bus ride. Praise God!
