(S)cripture-
1 Cor. 15:58 Therefore, my dear brothers, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.
(O)bservation-
We need to stand unswervingly to the Truth that we know in our hearts - Jesus is the Son of God, He was crucified, dead, buried, and resurrected by God on the third day and currently sits at His right hand, the place of honor. Christ is coming again to judge the world and everything in it and to gather up all believers into Heaven. Because of this we know that our work for the Lord on this earth is not futile and we need to be fully committed to working for the cause of the Lord. If we do this then we will receive our reward when Christ returns.
(A)pplication-
I hold fast to my belief in Christ and that He is coming again to take me home. I want to store up my treasure in Heaven and not in this world. However, while I am on this earth I will be committed to doing the Lord's work, whatever that is, as I am led by His Holy Spirit.
(P)rayer-
Father, thank You for Your Son Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior - for His atoning blood which redeems us to You for all eternity. Help me to have the understanding of the work You want me to do as I am led by the Holy Spirit and to have the strength and courage to carry out Your plan. I love and praise You and my great hope and treasure is in You. In Jesus' name, Amen.
