1 Corinthians 16:13 "Be on the alert, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong" When I read this verse I envision Paul standing in front of a crowd of men and women giving them encouragement and inspiration to live visibly in thier faith. Being a disciple of Jesus, Paul knowe that God wanted, and needed, more men and women who were willing to stand up and be counted for by Him. Genuine faith is never meant to be locked up in the heart of a believer, it is meant to be shared. There are opportunities every day to live visibly and share our faith but we must have the courage to recognize them and engage. Sure sometimes it may feel uneasy or uncertain but God is always with us and He strengthens us as long as we have faith in Him. Jesus taught His disciples that they could move mountains as long as they had faith. You can too if you stand up for it.
