Stand Firm In The Faith

 The book of Hebrews is written to enable growing Christians to mature in the faith. It instructs us how to walk in spirit and truth. It trains us how to live for God and teaches us how to stand fast in these trial sum days. Although there are many warnings against falling in our Christian walk, and many instructions on how to live godly lives, there are also many passages that are wonderfully uplifting and offer great encouragement.
 This verse, which immediately follows an important warning against spiritual immaturity and some elementary instructions on reaching full maturity, gives some great encouragement to believers who are seeking to Stand Firm In The Faith, in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation.
 The hallmark of true faith is active, Christian love which is carried out in the power of the Holy Spirit. 
 What an assurance, therefore, to be told that the eyes of the Lord will never miss any good deed we do for His glory, nor will be unaware of any labor of love that is shown to Him through a tender ministry that is directed towards His people.
 What a great encouragement it is to all the people of God to know that the Lord is aware of the thoughts of our hearts, the words that we speak, and the actions that we carry out in love, for His praise and glory. How uplifting to know that even a cup of cold water, which is offered from a heart that is right with God, will not go unnoticed nor unrewarded.
Hebrews 6:10 God is not unjust; he will not forget your work and the love you have shown him as you have helped his people and continue to help them.

Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, You are a good and righteous God Whose faithfulness continues from one generation to the next. Thank You for our great salvation. Thank You for the opportunity we have to work to Your praise and to love others with the love that You first gave to us. May we live to each day of our lives as unto the Lord, and we ask that You would give us opportunities to minister, in love, to the Body of Christ. Thank You that nothing we do ever goes unnoticed by You. May our lives be  daily witnesses and living sacrifices to Your grace and goodness. This we ask in Jesus' name, AMEN.
