Be on guard; stand firm in your faith [in God, respecting His precepts and keeping your doctrine sound]. Act like [mature] men and be courageous; be strong. Let everything you do be done in love [motivated and inspired by God’s love for us].
Don’t allow the busyness of the day and the seemingly insurmountable work before you consume your thoughts and overwhelm you. God is with us and gives us His peace and supernatural rest if we will just come before Him and ask. There is so much going on… on all fronts. The enemy is lurking… looking for that entry point where he can interfere and take us off course. Do not give him an inch because he won’t stop there.
Be mindful of the enemy and prepare yourself. Come before the throne and seek Christ. He is ALWAYS found when we look. Your situation and circumstances are only temporary, growing you into more. Take hold of your faith, you may feel as though you are lacking at the moment, but put your trust in Christ and He will never let us down. Continue, be courageous and be strong. Keep pressing and be mindful of your attitude… remembering that your work is for Jesus, so continue doing good because you are able and capable. Remember, that Christ led you to where you are, so don’t give up and don’t give in. Be on guard and stand firm, He is with you in each of your steps.
