Stand Alone
Stand against the shameful ways of sinful men and women, even if you have to stand alone. If no one else speaks up, your Savior stands with you in your seclusion. It is more convenient to compromise your convictions but find strength in God's words and obey them. If you have to stand alone for a season, your perseverance in doing what is right will eventually prod others to follow your example.
Avoid the bar and unseemly clubs on business trips, and others will find the courage to join you. At college, pray instead of party, study instead of steal, serve instead of acting silly, and be faithful instead of foolish. Young adults long for reliable friends and communities of trust, learning, and accountability. Stand alone and see God work wonders. (John 8:16)
To step into a seductive snare of sin is foolish. Do not go there when you see it coming, or you will be like a silly bird whose curiosity leads it into a trap. The pain that results from not standing alone in the truth is reason enough to remain in the character of Christ. However, there are other benefits. You stand alone, so your compelling story of courage inspires your children now and as they grow older. You stand alone to look your spouse in the eyes and honestly say you value him or her much more than any other. You stand alone, so the people you serve grow confident that you have their best interests in mind. Most importantly, you stand alone by the grace of God in humility and faith.
Don’t become proud of standing alone, or you will fall – suddenly and severely. Rather, stand alone by staying on your knees in desperate dependence on God. Give Him the glory, and He will give you the gumption to go it alone when necessary. (Psalm 15:2,5)
Where do I need to stand alone as an encouragement to those who may be holding back for fear of what others might think or do?
