Read: Psalms 78: 1,4, 7-8
1 O my people, listen to my instructions.
Open your ears to what I am saying,
4 We will not hide these truths from our children;
we will tell the next generation
about the glorious deeds of the Lord,
about his power and his mighty wonders.
7 So each generation should set its hope anew on God,
not forgetting his glorious miracles
and obeying his commands.
8 Then they will not be like their ancestors—
stubborn, rebellious, and unfaithful,
refusing to give their hearts to God.
It is up to you to resist the devil so that you don’t miss God. Do not have divided loyalties.
Read: James 4:6-8
6 And he gives grace generously. As the Scriptures say,
“God opposes the proud
but gives grace to the humble.”
7 So humble yourselves before God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 8 Come close to God, and God will come close to you. Wash your hands, you sinners; purify your hearts, for your loyalty is divided between God and the world.
Don’t be anxious about anything. Let peace be your umpire.
Read: Philippians 4:6-7

Let’s look at an example of what standing firm really looks like, especially since that’s what we must do.

He will rescue us from your power, Your Majesty. 18 But even if he doesn’t, we want to make it clear to you, Your Majesty, that we will never serve your gods or worship the gold statue you have set up.”
