Whatever You Do, Be Steadfast!


So often in our lives, we experience testing times.
Sometimes life can place you in a position of discomfort.

The things you grew accustom to are no longer accepted. You are now forced to decide how you will live.

My friend, Whatever You Do, Be Steadfast! The Bible declares in 1 Corinthians 15:58 - Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.

The more you live, the more you understand that everyone will not remain steadfast. The fear of rejection causes many people to reject their faith.

Your life is not a mistake. No matter how you were brought into this world, it was not a mistake. Where you are in your life is not a mistake.

To say it is a mistake, is to say God has lost control (we all know that is untrue). Where you are in your life can be used as a testimony of God’s goodness. Many people are watching to see if you will hold on and believe.

My brother, my sister, Whatever You Do, Be Steadfast!

There are many who have walked away from the body of Christ. There are many who have rejected the Word of God. If you can testify about the faithfulness of God, you must be willing to do just that. The Bible declares in Revelation 12:11 - And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; …Your testimony can be the one thing that keeps someone from falling apart.

No it is not easy. Yes there are challenges everywhere you turn. But my friend, Whatever You Do, Be Steadfast! At your lowest point(s) in life, God remained faithful toward you (Lamentations 3:23). He never walked away from any opportunity to help you.

The Bible declares in Hebrews 3:14 - For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast unto the end. Hold on and see the salvation of the Lord.

Question to Ponder: If everyone walked away, would you?
