Joel 3:14 Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the Lord is near in the valley of decision.
[2] Try by the grace of God to be a person of your word, meaning that a yes is a yes, and a no is a hell no. Sitting on the fence, indecisions, lukewarmness, and not being able to make up your mind would not help anyone to stand firm, in refusing to bow. With some Christians you do not know if they are coming or going, for in some cases, when feathers are ruffled, or toes are stepped on, some become discouraged or angry because of the nature of the Christian experience.
As a Christian you will have some sunny days, and some rainy days. You will have some mountaintop experiences, and you will have valley experiences. The Christian’s life is not all a bed of roses, for roses do have some thorns in them. When a baptismal vow is taken, ask God to give you the strength, courage, fortitude, and endurance to stay the course with Christ until the very end, even if at times there may be ups and downs, with some bruises.
Revelation 3:14 And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God; 15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. 16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. 17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:
Revelation 3:18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eye salve, that thou mayest see. 19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.
May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
