57But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
58Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain. (1 Corinthians 15:57,58)
Thoughts: The work of the Lord (to which we are to give ourselves fully) is the work of His servants. He is Lord and we know it, so we serve Him. This tells us how we should serve:
1) Stand firm and let nothing move you. Do not be swayed by pressure from people or from circumstance. Do not allow yourself to be washed about by the waves of culture.
2) Give yourselves fully- Be All in. Do not just put your toe into being a Christian. Being a follower means total commitment- as Jesus committed Himself for us.
3) You know your labor is not in vain- It is not in vain because we know we are on the winning side. Christ conquered death. The work of the Lord has eternal rewards.

Prayer: Lord, help me ot serve you because of who you are. You are my anchor against the winds and waves of life.
