Youth to Stand Up for Christ {a devotional}
For
whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son
of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and in his
Father’s, and of the holy angels. Luke 9:26.
Always
stand up for Christ. In word, in spirit, in action, be His witness. He
loves you, and He wants to impart to you His rich grace, that you may
impart this to others.... Christ has purchased you with His own blood.
Then, everywhere, at all times and under all circumstances, stand up for
Jesus. Remember that thus you will exert the very best influence upon
all with whom you associate....
It
is your privilege ever to grow in grace, advancing in the knowledge and
love of God, if you maintain the sweet communion with Christ it is your
privilege to enjoy. In the simplicity of humble faith ask the Lord to
open your understanding, that you may discern and appreciate the
precious things of His Word. Thus you may grow in grace, grow in simple,
trusting faith. Then your light will shine forth to all with whom you
associate. Keep your mind fixed upon the Saviour....
Be
sure that your spiritual life does not become poor, sickly,
inefficient. There are many who have need of the words and example of a
Christian. Weakness and indecision provoke the assaults of the enemy,
and any one who fails to increase in spiritual growth, in a knowledge of
truth and righteousness, will frequently be overcome by the enemy.
Let
your countenance reflect the joy of the Lord. Speak of His goodness and
tell His power. Then your light will shine more and more distinctly.
Above your trials and disappointments will be revealed the reflection of
a pure, healthy religious life.
