Stable Faith, Steady Steps
After surgery, hospital staff stress the importance of stabilizing before moving. Patients are instructed to get up slowly, use a wheelchair when leaving the hospital, and refrain from driving until the anesthesia has worn off. If a patient does not stabilize, the risk of falling and further injury increases significantly.
As I reflected on those instructions following my recent surgery, I thought about how important it is for us to be spiritually stable.
There are so many doctrines, opinions, and beliefs circulating that we can sometimes find ourselves wavering in what we believe. Paul reminds us in 1 Corinthians 15:58 to be “stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.”
He also cautions us in Ephesians 4:14 not to be “tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine.”
Stability takes strength. Stability takes commitment. To be stable is to stand firmly on the foundation of God’s Word and remain anchored in the truth we have believed. Those beliefs carry us through difficult seasons and keep us steady when the winds of life begin to blow.
So let us set our feet, ten toes down, trusting in the will of our Father and standing firm in the faith He has given us.
A stable faith doesn’t mean the winds stop blowing—it means you stop being moved by them.
Lord, help us to remain steadfast and unmovable in our faith. When distractions, doubts, and differing voices seek to pull us away from Your truth, keep us grounded in, stable in, Your Word and secure in Your will. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
