Steadfastness

12/30/2023

Psalm 51:10 says, “Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.” We often pray for the first half of that verse but too often neglect the second half. The phrase steadfast spirit means right, sure, or staying the path. We need that steadfastness to stay obedient to the Lord and the path he has laid before us. Oftentimes our steadfastness for the Lord looks as if we’re in the minority or on the wrong side of history. Elijah was just 1 prophet against 450 (1 Kings 18:22) yet he remained firm in his obedience to the Lord. We ask for renewal from the Lord because it’s tough staying steadfast. The good news is he gave us the church that equips the saints and builds up the body of Christ to steady us in staying that path. Ephesians 4:14 tell us, “As a result, we are no longer to be children, tossed here and there by waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, by craftiness in deceitful scheming;” When the water is murky, the storms look too strong, or the path is covered we remain steadfast in the Lord. He knows the path, he doesn’t leave us or forsake us, and he’s given his church to build us up.
