Firmness, strength and trust in the Lord

Everything we do in the ways of God, we must do it with firmness and rectitude, being firm and keeping our forehead high in the face of any difficulty or problem that arises.

Walking in the ways of the Lord is not always easy, because along the path we encounter trials, opposition, moments of discouragement, and situations that test our faith. However, God never promised us an absence of struggles, but He did promise His presence in the midst of them. That is why firmness and uprightness are essential for every believer who desires to honor God with their life.

But, the strength comes from God, because every time we are going through struggles in life and weaknesses come that deplete us, God helps us and keeps us standing. Many times we feel that our strength is exhausted, that we can no longer move forward, but it is precisely in those moments when the power of God is manifested in us. Our weakness becomes the stage where His grace is revealed.

So we must trust the Lord with all our hearts, the Lord will never leave us on the ground. God will always accompany us in every problem that comes, we believe in Him because He is God and always keeps what He promises. Human promises may fail, circumstances may change, but God remains faithful forever. Trusting Him is not a feeling, it is a daily decision to rest in His character and His Word.

But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.

1 Peter 5:10

This verse reminds us that suffering is temporary, but the work God does in us through suffering is eternal. God uses trials to perfect us, to establish us firmly in faith, to strengthen our spiritual life, and to settle our hearts in Him. Nothing we go through is in vain when we place our trust in the hands of the Lord.

We create every day in the God of our salvation. Let us not stop believing because the one who called us will also give us the way so that we can move forward, that although we have suffered a little we resist in the Lord, because this will not be for a long time, because soon we will receive our reward for our sovereign and powerful God. Perseverance is evidence of genuine faith, and endurance produces spiritual maturity.

God through the struggle along the way will perfect us and give us the way out for all the things that want to attack us. He does not abandon His children in the middle of the battle, but rather equips them and guides them until victory comes. All the stumbling blocks that are in front of us will remove them with His powerful hand, according to His perfect will and timing.

Let’s not stop believing in Him, let’s walk without fear. Fear paralyzes, but faith moves us forward. When we trust God, we learn to walk confidently even when we do not fully understand what lies ahead. His grace will take care of us and keep us protected at all times, that grace that overflows, that grace that wherever we are testifies of who we are before God.

Let us resist until the end and God will give us what He promised in His word that is life and eternal life. The reward of those who remain faithful is not only peace in this life, but the glorious hope of eternal life in Christ Jesus. Therefore, let us continue firm, trusting, and persevering, knowing that our labor in the Lord is never in vain.
