Hi Springfield, 

1 Corinthians 16:13 & 14 say, “Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong. Do everything in love.” These are the words of the apostle Paul as he commends and encourages the church at Corinth. Paul’s words are just as powerful today to us as they were to the church at Corinth all those years ago. “Be on your guard” against the wiles of the devil. “Stand firm in the faith” and do not waiver even in times of difficulty. “Be courageous” enough to face each trial with faith and hope. “Be strong” in the Lord remembering His strength is made perfect in our weakness. “Do everything in love” – love for God, love for others and love for yourself. In the same way Paul encouraged his church with those words, let me encourage us today. As we follow God’s word and will, He will see us through.
