Stand Firm

2 Corinthians 1:21-22

"Now it is God who makes both us and you stand firm in Christ. He anointed us, set his seal of ownership on us, and put his spirit in our heart as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come."

When it seems the world is shaking all around you and nothing is certain, when you feel as though all that you built up in your life is crumbling alongside your dreams, and when the ground is ripped from beneath your feet and you are found on your knees in desperation, there is hope. As we come to God in whatever overwhelming circumstance we may face, he lifts us from the ground, out from our desperation and onto the solid cornerstone that is Christ. As we stand firm on the unshakable foundation that is Christ, God anoints us, setting our spirits apart to serve Him with abandon. You are His beloved, His precious child and prized portion. Before you even came to be, He wrote out all your days and prepared for you an incredible purpose to fulfill. His spirit abides in His beloved and promises to never leave you, to never forsake you and to give you a hope and a future as you live out the life story He has written for you.

Let this soak into your soul. That God has lifted you up. That He is your strong foundation. That Has anointed you, His beloved. His Spirit is alive and at work in you, and is guiding you along the path that God has paved for your life. Open your heart to Him today, and rest in this truth that when all seems to crumble and fall around, God will lift you up to solid ground in Christ.
 
You are loved. Live out that truth today :)
