The Household of God Ephesians 2:19
 

Be stable with your Lord
Readings: 1 Corinthians 15:58 be ye steadfast..., 1 Corinthians 10:13 In your distress God will make a way of escape

1. Your life needs an anchor
Without the Lord you don't have an anchor.
It is not how determined and how good you are. What anchors your soul? Jesus the Word is my anchor.
Luke 6:48. The word the Lord is the weight of your foundation. The lordship of Christ has definite benefits. It results in an unshakeable establishment. It can weather the storms and make a man.
Without this weight one is unstable. James 1:8


2. The virtues of trials James 1:2
There are virtues in trials. A good athlete deliberately put themselves to trials to be better
No one would really use an untried item because it has no testimony.
Polished items are made with an anchor.
The Bible enjoins us not to be conformed to the world. An abandon of old ways. By this your will be tried. Let the word of your Lord take your heart

3. Singularity of purpose and Your full attention
Distractions, change of focus, doubts are the cause of failures.
It provides a deeper relationship James 1:8. Hebrews 12:1-2
So we can experience the reality of Jesus.
We will not be divided in our attention
A man cannot serve to masters.
At the raw spot of your heart there can be only one occupancy. Giving it single occupancy draws out your best and receives the best. Matthew 6:24 God and Mammon.

4. I am high value in the kingdom. 1 Corinthians 7:23
Not better men but children of God. 2 Timothy 4:10 Demas was carried away by there world.
Luke 9:59-62 many Christians need the benefits of the Lord to glorify themselves in the world. It does not work that way. Matthew 7:6 Pigs will trample on your pearls.

5. Be stable
Your stability comes from your dependency on His Word. Luke 6:48
Every stability requires an anchor
Every bit of a structure can shake but the anchor must not shake. If an anchor shakes the whole structure is unreliable, not dependable and needs attention.
