Are You Pressing On in Faith?
Following Christ requires unwavering commitment, even when the world moves in the opposite direction. True faith does not depend on circumstances or the approval of others—it stands firm in devotion to God. When you resolve to live for Him, He provides the strength to persevere through trials, temptations, and opposition.
Today, reflect on your faithfulness to Christ. Are you standing firm in your commitment to follow Him, regardless of what others do? Renew your resolve to walk in obedience, and know that God is with you every step of the way.
"Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain."
— 1 Corinthians 15:58
