Standing Firm

Adapted from Wake Up to the Word

Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore….

There are going to be plenty of times when people or circumstances will try to hold you back from God’s best in your life. But God is with you, in you, and He is your strength.

God will help you stand firm and be determined to go forward no matter who or what is coming against you. It may not always be easy, but being frustrated and unfulfilled due to being outside the will of God is more difficult than pressing through all the opposition in order to walk in His will.

Through Christ you can have a quiet, inner confidence that takes you through to the finish line. Confidence in God is knowing that despite adverse circumstances, everything will work out for your good in the end. You have had victories in the past and you will have many more in the future.

Prayer of the Day: Lord, thank You for my relationship with You. I need Your strength to overcome every obstacle in my way as I walk in Your will for my life. I trust You to guide me, knowing You are with me every step of the way, on the pathway to victory. I give You all the glory, amen.
