Don't Abandon Your Post


Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong. 1 Corinthians 16:13
In the armed forces if you are on guard duty or some other form of staff duty you stay at your post and follow orders. Abandoning your post is not an option because the lives of many depend upon you fulfilling your 'guard' duties. 
Have you made a decision in your Christian walk to stand firm in the faith and not go with the crowd or whatever is popular is the thing to do? Sometimes deep down you may have a conviction that some movie you choose to watch is wrong or a book you are reading is putting wrong thoughts into you head. A student may be forced to read certain material in school and if they are in disagreement due to their Christian beliefs they too need to be courageous and keep at their 'post'.
Sometimes it is hard to go against popular culture but if you expect to stand strong in the teachings of the Bible you have a decision to make. Choose God or choose the world and it's way. Stand for the truth and stay where you are and protect those in your circle of influence. That may be a mom at home with children watching you. Don't leave your post! It is so important for the lives of others. 
PRAYER: I am so grateful to be able to know I do not have to cave into the world and it's ways. I choose to stand my ground and protect those around me. In Jesus' name. Amen.
