Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong. Do everything in love.
1 Corinthians 16:13-14 NIV
So many things I could say, and none of them political. I've not always understood what it meant to Be on your guard," and so I wasn't, but I have stood firm in my faith. I have learned to be courageous. I have also learned I am stronger than I ever knew. I have done hard things with all the love I could have ever hoped to muster. But I could never have done any of it without God helping me stand, encouraging me on, and providing strength.
Hi Martha.........A woman is like a tea bag. She gets stronger when she’s in hot water. 🥰

So many difficult "classes" in the school of life.
DeleteWe are stronger when we are in hot water, now that is a cute saying. The more I study the Bible, in groups at my church, the more I admire all the wisdom in it, like the Scripture you quoted.
ReplyDeleteI have a friend who sends me a scripture verse every day. I've come to look forward to it.
