Ephesians 6:10-14a (KJV)
Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Therefore, take unto you the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day and, having done all, to stand. Stand therefore…
When everything in life is falling apart, and nothing seems to make sense, stand (trust in the Lord) and keep standing. No matter how hard things may be, stand and keep standing. It isn’t easy, but it God’s best for us. Stand and keep standing.
In recent months my world has been rocked unlike ever before. In times of meditation, prayer and Bible reading I simply hear the still small voice say, “Stand.” As any child does with the Father, I continue to ask questiosn. What do I do? “Stand” is the reply. Where do I go? “Stand” is the reply. When will this be over? “Stand” again follows as the response.
When we stand we rely on God’s power to overcome every struggle in our lives. The difficulty for most of us is that this is too simple. We want to take matters into our own hands and work it out NOW. But if we can experience the fruit of self-control in our lives we will see God do great things in and through our life.
No matter what the trial of your life is right now, follow God’s Word and remain always Standing…Still Standing.
