Blessed are the flexible for they shall not be broken…. And blessed are the upright for they shall stand firm and  be steadfast

How can we be both? 

We must be flexible when the Lord calls us to minister - when He calls us to pray, when He calls us to meet a need for our neighbor, when He calls us to go visit someone who is sick or in prison, when He calls us to minister to the widows and orphans, when He call us we must be ready no matter what our schedule says…

And yet, He also calls us to stand firm and be steadfast in His truth and His righteousness - He desires that we do not compromise with the darkness of this world, that we do not condone or even ignore evil, that we do not participate in lying or cheating or stealing nor do we turn the other way when innocent blood is being shed…
