Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your [labor]( in the Lord is not in vain.” Therefore, My Dear Brothers and Sisters, Stand Firm Let Nothing Move You Being a part of the family of God is a blessing but also a struggle at times. This is because the enemy hates what we are doing for the Lord. We are called to stand firm. When is the last time you physically had to stand firm? Were you hiking a mountain? Balancing on a board of some kind? Standing in a choir? Wherever it was, you had to think about where your feet were planted. When we follow Jesus, our feet are firmly grounded on the Rock, so we are steady not in our strength but in God’s. When we are firmly set in Christ, we are called to let nothing move us. Sure we may go through hardship and trials, but we are established in Jesus, and nothing can move us. Always Give Yourselves Fully to the Work of the Lord As we stand firm and do not move, we are to give ourselves fully to the work of the Lord. This does not mean we only serve God occasionally or when we feel like it. This means fully. This is a calling for every believer to worship God in all things, with all of their gifts and talents. Whether this is work, parenting, friendships, missions, service, or hobbies, we are motivated to always give ourselves fully to what God is doing. We can ask the [Holy Spirit]( to direct us in all things so we do not miss opportunities to love well. [1 Corinthians 10:31]( says, “So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.” We are sons and daughters of the Living God, and He has commissioned us to glorify Him in everything. Even the most mundane moments can become beautiful opportunities for the Lord to work.
