Take a Stand – Don’t be a wimp!
Then Elijah stood in front of them and said, “How long are you going to waver between two opinions? If the LORD is God, follow him! But if Baal is God, then follow him!” But the people were completely silent. – 1 Kings 18:21 (NLT)
I got a devotional this morning and it was a great reminder of what we should be doing as Jesus followers. We need to be taking a stand for what we believe in. Don’t be a wimp! God does not like those who can’t make up their mind. He is not demanding that you follow him. He wants you to stand up for something though. Either be for Him with everything you have or be for something else with everything you have. But don’t be a wishy-washy, go with the flow, sort of person.
Stand up for something…
I commit my life to following Jesus with everything I have – Lord, help me to be bold in my proclamation. Help me follow you in everything.
Where are you at?
I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth. – Revelation 3:15-16

Right to the point. And the quoted verses will be remembered to remind me just how much God’s word is so correct today as it was back then. Thanks

[...] I just read a good post that I want to pass along. One of the things I like so much is that the writer uses two verses to lead into his comments. I don’t think it was intended but this also shows how much God’s word is just as correct today as it was then. It’s well worth a read, check it out here. [...]
