Daily Word - Stand Firm in God our Father

15-17 So, friends, take a firm stand, feet on the ground and head high. Keep a tight grip on what you were taught, whether in personal conversation or by our letter. May Jesus himself and God our Father, who reached out in love and surprised you with gifts of unending help and confidence, put a fresh heart in you, invigorate your work, enliven your speech.

                                                                            -2 Thessalonians 2:15-17 (the message)

Father, thank you for your gift of help and confidence.  Create in me a clean heart, Amen!
