Stand Firm!

i came across this awesome verse in the bible the other day:

Isaiah 7:9 '...if you do not stand firm in your faith, you will not stand at all'.

it made me think that if we continue to water down our faith then we'll be left with nothing at all. who likes REALLY watery cordial? you know the stuff that is just plain gross? that's what i reckon our faith can become if we don't stand firm in it. i've been told plenty of times that people will respect me if i show that i'm strong in what i believe, does that mean that people will think less of God if i let myself and my faith be stepped on by everyone? it can be hard but don't forget that you've got nothing to lose, stand up for God! it says in the bible that we should not let what we believe to be good spoken of as evil. well i believe that God is good so i won't let people speak about him as if he's evil or nothing at all.

hope you all have a great, God blessed day, week, month, year, etc. alana
