“Man Up”

What does it look like to be strong, watchful, and firm in your faith?

The expression “man up” is often used as a call to be strong and courageous and to take responsibility for one’s actions.

As followers of Jesus, whether male or female, we are to be strong and courageous and to take responsibility for our actions.

The Apostle Paul wrote the church in Corinth, encouraging them to “Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong.” (1 Corinthians 16:13, ESV).

Like the early Corinthian church, we are to be watchful of our faith, to stand firm in our faith, and to be strong in our faith.

May we be watchful, firm, and strong in our faith as we live out what we believe daily throughout our lives.

A Prayer of Self—Dedication, by William Temple: “Almighty and eternal God, so draw our hearts to you, so guide our minds, so fill our imaginations, so control our wills, that we may be wholly yours, utterly dedicated to you; and then use us, we pray, as you will, and always to your glory and the welfare of your people; through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Amen.” (#73., Book of Common Prayer, 2019).
