“But you are to cling to the LORD your God, as you have done to this day.”
Joshua 23:8
“Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time, because the days are evil.  Ephesians 5:15-16

Yes, the days are evil.  As for Believers, walking wisely we steadfastly cling to God and His Word!  And we are admonished to stand fast; and to be firm in the LORD.  Look, heed and put into practice God’s instructions. 

“…Do not turn aside from following the LORD, but serve the LORD with all your heart.
And you must not turn aside, for then you would go after futile things which can not profit or deliver, because they are futile.”  1 Samuel 12:20-21

“Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.”  1 Corinthians 15:58

“Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.”  Galatians 5:1

“Only let your conduct be worthy of the gospel of Christ…that you strand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel.”  Philippians 1:27

“Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.  Resist him, steadfast in the faith…”  1 Peter 5:8-9

“You therefore, beloved, since you know these things beforehand, beware lest you also fall from your own steadfastness, being led away with the error of the wicked; but grow in the grace and  knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.”  2 Peter 3:17-18

Believers take heed!  These verses are here for a reason!  There are so many enticements in the world that seem so innocent, but to yield to them only leads to destruction.  Here is an example of such given by Paul in 
1Timothy 6:9,
“But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and harmful lusts which drown men in destruction and perdition.”
These are strong words, but true.  Just look around and see what man does to get rich!!

Christ says in Revelation 3:11, 
“Behold, I come quickly!  Hold fast what you have, that no one may take your crown.  He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God, and he shall go out no more…”
(Read Chapters 2 and 3 concerning the warnings and rewards.)

So we sing:
“Stand fast therefore in the liberty,
  Wherewith Christ has made us free,
  And be not entangled again 
  With the yoke of bondage.  

 For brethren, ye have been called
 Unto liberty; only use not liberty,
 As an occasion to the flesh
 But by love serve one another.

 For the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, 
 Long suffering, gentleness, goodness, meekness,
 Temperance, faith, against such there is no law!

 So, stand fast therefore in the liberty, 
 Wherewith Christ has made us free,
 And be not entangled again 
 With the yoke of bondage.
Amen!
