Stay Put!

Greetings,

Sometimes it's good to be stubborn.  Not like my kids, who when instructed that the only language allowed in our home would be Spanish, literally went mute for three days and Jorge and I had to rescind the rule.  But when it comes to faith, being stubborn, hardheaded, and inflexible is good!

"Be steadfast and immovable. Do not let anyone or anything move you off the foundation of your faith...The hard work you do for the Lord is never without purpose" (1 Corinthians 15:58).

Not seeing answers to prayers?

Feel like giving up?

Discouraged?

Not sure if calling on the name of the Lord makes a difference?

The verse above was written in the Bible to encourage us to stand our ground.  Prayer always has a purpose, and is always accomplishing something powerful. Working hard to love ourselves and others is never pointless.  Lives are changed for the better and hearts turn toward God when we dig in our heels and decide to stand firm on the foundation of our faith, which is why God wants us to stay put!

PRAYER: Dear Lord, Thank You for this reminder.  Every time we pray we are doing something purposeful.  We are inviting Your power, Your wisdom, and Your goodness into our lives and the lives of those we love.  We all desperately need You and are grateful that we receive blessings when we stand firm on faith.  With Your help nothing or no one will move us.  We are staying put with Christ! AMEN!
