Hold Your Ground

It’s easy to waver in the face of temptation.

We can be cruising along at times in life, doing what God has set before us . . . then things show up that distract us, dishearten us, and tempt us to stray.

Stay rooted to people who are of similar mind and have a similar focus on God and Christ.

Similarly, stay grounded in and connected to your family. Everyone gets busy, and it’s easy to get disconnected a little bit at a time. Don’t let it happen.

Finally, make sure that you stay tethered tightly to God through regular personal quiet time and fellowship with others through reading the Bible, prayer, and worship.

God, through the leading of the Holy Spirit within us, is unwavering and always absolutely right in where He leads us.

His Promises

If you think you are standing strong, be careful not to fall. The temptations in your life are no different from what others experience. And God is faithful. He will not allow the temptation to be more than you can stand. When you are tempted, he will show you a way out so that you can endure.

Keep watch and pray, so that you will not give in to temptation. For the spirit is willing, but the body is weak!

Put on all of God’s armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies of the devil.
