Hold fast to GOD….
Recently when we had a strong storm I was watching the trees outside. The wind was whipping them from side to side in the storms. Sometimes they seem to almost bend completely over, but if they are strongly rooted into the ground beneath them, they aren’t moved from that spot. Holding fast to God is like this. We must be grounded into and rooted into Christ so strongly that when the enemy comes at us, we won’t be shaken or moved.
But you shall hold fast to the LORD your God, as you have done to this day. Joshua 23:8
When we are obedient to the calling of Christ on our lives, and we fully surrender it all to Him, our relationship starts to grow. Each day we are given, we need to be seeking Him, reading His word and developing a prayer life with Him to grow in Him. It’s not a one sided relationship. It takes effort on our part to grow. There will be many tests in our lives, but if we don’t have the tests, we don’t have the testimonies. When Joshua did what the Lord told him in Jericho, the walls fell flat. When Daniel went against the decree of not praying and was thrown into the lion’s den, God protected him and saved him. When Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego went willingly into the fire, God showed up, loosed them from their bo***ge and saved them. God wants to do the same for you. He wants to save you from the storms, the fires, the trials of life and free you from the bo***ge that enslaves you. It’s up to us to surrender and come to Him and let Him cleanse us and save us. We don’t come as we are, we come when we are tired of doing it on our own and we realized we need a Savior to help us. He is the God of possibilities. It takes us stepping out in faith to trust His plan, His way, and His will for our lives. He is standing at the door of salvation, knocking ever so gently, waiting for you to open that door and let Him. Today is the day of salvation. Tomorrow isn’t promised. Repent and be baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ for the remission of your sins and rise up to a new life in Christ Jesus. When you are tired of doing it on your own, He is there. I pray that you will seek Him with all you are and let Him lead you in His way.
God’s blessings to you all!
Have a blessed week!
