Are You Ready to Stand Firm When the World Pressures You to Fold?
You’re called to stand firm in your faith today. No matter what comes your way, no matter how strong the pressure to give in, don’t back down. The world may offer you a hundred reasons to compromise your virtues, but stand on the Rock who is Christ. When you stand in the truth of God’s Word, you draw your strength from Him—not your circumstances.
Whether in your workplace, your family, or your relationships, stand firm in what you know is true. Fear will try to stop you. Doubt will creep in. But you are not alone—God is with you. He has equipped you with everything you need to stand strong. So, fix your eyes on Him, and declare boldly: "Here I stand." Let God be your strength today.
"Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong."
— 1 Corinthians 16:13
