Greater is He who is in you, than he who is in the world’ It takes courage, discipline and the empowerment of the Holy Spirit to stand firm against all kinds of temptation and to remain steadfast in what should be our commitment to God - to ‘be holy, as He is holy’ (1 Peter 1:15-16). Sometimes I feel so overwhelmed with what’s going on around me and in our country. People are becoming increasingly hostile towards God, and towards those who stand for Him. Moral truth has become subjective and there are very few absolutes. The Word of God is seen by many to be irrelevant, and sin is protected by political correctness. Christians are under constant pressure to compromise their loyalty to God and his word, and indulge themselves in the things of the world. I so need to stand for truth without compromise, refusing to submit to the defilement of the world, that I might be salt and light in an increasingly dark world. Dear Lord, forgive me when I compromise with the world so that I feel comfortable and accepted. Forgive me Lord for the times I compromise and lose sight of the path you have for me. Help me not to compromise my loyalty to you and your word. Where are my convictions for my bad habits, Lord? Help me to stand strong under all the pressures of worldly temptations. Father, I need more courage and discipline to say no to the things of the world. Amen.
