It seems like nobody really knows. Think about all of the books, podcasts, movies, seminars, and motivation speakers that try to give us the secret to winning life.
There are thousands of those...
Notice there is an important thing I didn't include on that list...usually because it's forgotten about or not at the top...because too often we just don't turn to it.
- The Bible -
Stand firm, and you will win life. (Luke 21:19)
Those words came straight from Jesus' mouth. I believe that is the answer to the question.
We win life when we stand firm.
Stand firm in your beliefs and the word of God. That's what did it for me. If I didn't stand firm in the word my life would be a mess. There would be no stability, I would take L after L after L. I would have no confidence. I would have no sense of security. I would be anxious and uneasy all of the time. Life would stink!
Standing firm leads to consistency. You know how you stand on the beach, right on the sand and the waves crash up against your feet? It's such a good feeling, but you just keep sinking. You are enjoying the moment but at the same time, you're thinking to yourself 'ohh crap' I need to move.
Now think about the feeling of standing on a dock literally over top of the water. It's sturdy, might be a little shaky sometimes, you might feel the waves splash your feet, but you know that you aren't going anywhere. The dock is going to keep you safe.
Stand firm on the word of God. It won't be the easiest thing ever, you're going to feel the waves, but at least you know you're going to win life.
My plea to you is to stand firm. I want to see everyone win at life and the only way to do that is to stand firm.
