Stand!!

Marcus Aurelius once said “be like the cliffs against which the waves continually break; but it stands firm and tames the fury of the waters around it. Standing firm. This is a strong term. If you look it up it means to refuse to change a decision or position. There are so many topics causing so much unrest in today’s world. From gender questions to when does life begin? All kinds of blurry lines it would seem. So many in fact that many don’t know what to believe. They don’t know where to stand. When I became a believer in Christ I had many questions even though I was taught the Bible from childhood. I was unable to answer questions in my own mind about hard topics let alone answer anyone else’s. Life is hard but if you have made the choice to follow Christ there is ground you can stand on and stand firm there. 2 Thessalonians 2:15 says, so then brothers and sisters, stand firm and hold fast to the teachings we passed onto you whether by word of mouth or by letter. We have these words today!! The letters Paul is talking about here are what we call the Bible today. Many believe it’s obsolete. Hebrews 4:12 says it’s living and active!! When we profess our faith in Jesus we can stand firm in our belief and we can trust in his word to help us calm the raging waves that break against us! His word is the ground we stand on and standing there we will not be overcome!! Thank you again and again for your precious word to us!! Thank you for giving us a place to stand our great Heavenly Father!!
Have a rockin good day!!
