Standing For Your Faith

Monday in class Dr. Foster was talking about the book of Maccabees. As he was talking about everything these people went through I was inspired. The story of the Maccabees to me is one of true faith and God providing. I think the lesson to be learned was If you stand up for what is right and pleasing to God. He will be with you. The people stood up for what they knew was right and they fought against people who were messing up the sacred temple of God. After they went to the temple they only had enough oil in the lamp to keep it burning for a day,but the candle continued to burn for seven days. Sometimes in our christen life we find it hard to stand up for God, but if we stand up for God He will protect us and be with us. This is what I personally learned from the Maccabees.
