Most buildings in America aren’t built to last forever—a fire, hurricane, tornado, or other natural disaster could easily destroy them. So on a recent trip to Washington, D.C., I was struck by the permanence of the buildings. All the essential government buildings, the national monuments, the White House, and even most of the museums are made of stone. As I walked their white marble corridors, I felt a sense of peace. Many disasters could befall these buildings, and they would still stand firm. 

But if you’ve ever visited Washington, D.C., you know that some important building is always undergoing restoration. The buildings are solid and would be steadfast in a disaster, yet the normal weather patterns and people patterns slowly but surely create wear in the stone. They require regular maintenance. Keeping the buildings and monuments in top condition requires effort. So the government invests regularly in restoring the worn-down areas to keep these valued, essential buildings in their best shape.

So it is with our faith. God and his unchanging Word are firm foundations. But if we want our faith in them to stand firm, especially in the face of change, we must do some regular maintenance. We can’t just go to church on Sundays and forget about God the rest of the week and assume our faith will be able to withstand the storms of life. God and his Word are always available as the firm foundation of our faith, but we must not forget to make the effort to place our feet firmly on them every day.    

Through Scripture, 31 devotionals, application questions, and biblical meditation prompts, Steadfast: A Devotional for Women in Seasons of Change will help you cultivate steadfast faith in God’s faithfulness.

Standing firm in faith,
