Hold God Fast as your Good
This is the first commandment, this is the beginning of our religion and our journey and road - to have our hearts fixed firmly in faith, and by fixing our hearts firmly in faith to live good lives, to abstain from seductive goods, to endure patiently temporal evils, and as long as the enticement of the first and the second persist, to keep our hearts steady and unshaken against each of them.
In doing so, you shall hold God fast as your good and have no evil to endure. - Sermon 38, 5
Prayer - You go on carrying me, Lord, until Your work is finished in me. Psalm 85:7
