Here is the first post in a my year long series (GASP!!) about my one word. Now that I've written this I'm scared!! I'm also testing out the ability to schedule a post - I'm actually writing this the day before I want it to post...hhmmm guess I'll see how this tuns out.
So my word is Steadfast. I choose to use the 1828 Merriam Websters Bible Dictionary and the King James Bible as my tangible sources to study being steadfast.
Steadfast: 1.) fast fixed; firm; firmly fixed or established. 2.) Constant; firm; resolute; not fickle or wavering; steady. 3.) Firmness of standing; fixed in place; firmness of mind or purpose; fixed in principle.
The KJV spells steadfast as stedfast - so I will use these interchangeably.
Therefore, my my beloved brehren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.
1 Corinthians 1:7
To be honest, I feel overwhelmed and unsure how I should go about my word... as I type this ..it's so like me to feel I have to be doing something in order to be succeeding. However, what I do want to do is to create maybe a canvas or a frame with my word and the above verse to keep it in sight and then find a way to visually work on it or study it... not quite sure how that's gonna work...but I'm willing.
I think I might go online to find a few interesting and creative ways to study and showcase the word the Lord gave me.
**Next post, I'll share some of the Biblical contrasts between being steadfast and what the Bible calls double minded.**
Thank you Lord for the ability to clearly discern what you have been trying to tell me for the last year, but I apparently was more like a 2yr old and stomped my feet and pouted. Today Lord, this minute Lord I am willing .. please help me to be steadfast in this journey.
Abiding in Him,
Tiff
