Therefore, my brothers, you whom I long for, my joy and my crown, this is how you should stand firm in the Lord, dear friends! (Philippians 4:1).

Stand firm in your own power.

Nope

Stand firm in the glory of your vast intellect.

Yeah…no

Stand firm in the light of our benevolent government and its great wisdom.

Um, you’re kidding, right?

Beloved, we of all people anywhere, are able to stand firm. We’re the only ones with a foundation that won’t crumble right out from under our feet.

Remember that.

Whatever personal earthquakes you endure today, your feet are planted on solid rock.

The Solid Rock.

Stand firm today, Beloved.

Happy Monday.
