S) "13 Be on the alert, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong."
1 Corinthians 16:13 (NASB)
O) This is part of Paul's closing of this letter to Corinth, so he didn't expound. I think it's pretty straight-forward, although I could easily see where the 4 points could be expanded. Keeping it simple for now, though...
A) Being on the alert, I can't become lax or complacent. Standing firm in the faith, I can't allow the world or its concerns distract or discourage. Acting like a man, I must lead by example and with integrity. Being strong, I must practice and exercise my faith and walk with God.
P) Father, continue to chisel me. Holy Spirit, help me maintain focus throughout the day. I need to keep my mind on the important, eternal things. Help me be more aware, to be consistent, to keep my integrity, and to use my strength wisely, and become stronger. I want to honor You with the way I live my life. Help me be an example to my son, of what it means to love You. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
