The word for today is - Unmoveable !

Good morning,
The word for today is - Unmoveable !
 
Let's look at 1 Corinthians15:58,Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, and unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.The word 'steadfast' literally means 'seated.' It refers to something that is settled. Read Hebrews 10:36, For ye have need of patience, that after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.  In the preceding verse 35 the Apostle Paul wrote, Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward. There is the danger of losing our confidence in the Lord and in the Truth if we fail to wait patiently upon him. The passing of time, without seeing the kingdom established is a great test of patience.That is why,  we are reemphasizing the reality of the Truth, and reminding ourselves of the importance of having our faith firmly established in the Word of God. How blessed it is to know that God is faithful! God has reveal his glorious plan to mankind in His word. And not ‘one word’ has ever failed! His promises did not fail during the past year, and we can look forward with confidence this year in knowing that again he who has called us will be “faithful” to us. Read Hebrews10:23, Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; ( for he is faithful that promised;) If we have been steadfast and unmovable, it is because we have put our trust fully in the Lord, and have sought to be guided by his Word. The Truth is designed to mold our lives into the character likeness of the Lord, and it has also been given to us that we might be the Lord’s witnesses, and ambassadors of the kingdom. Our loyalty to the Lord and to the Truth is an individual and personal responsibility.  Also, do you not know that it takes time? So, Radical change does not happen in the lives of people that are quick to give up. But, in those who discipline themselves to obey God's word, and focus on growing in him. It is important that His Law is a lamp unto our feet, guiding our path in righteousness. The truth is when His Law is hidden it does not always show itself when we need it. The only way we can be assured that we follow God’s Law and His Will is to meditate on it day and night. Obedience is better and greater than sacrifice. Read Psalms 1:2,But his delight is in the Law of The Lord and on it he meditates day and night. The Lord’s will is revealed to us through his Word, so we need to study his Word to know his will. Read 2 Timothy 2:15, Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. Thank you God for your word. Amen !
