 Stand

Sometimes, after we’ve done all we can do, there is nothing else required of us but just to stand. Stand in your circumstances. Stand with your friends. Stand silently in your anger. Stand proudly in your compassion. Just stand. 

Ephesians 6:13 tells us that God has equipped us so that we can stand. When the dust settles, when the storm subsides, when the flood waters recede, and when the battle is over, there you’ll be, standing. The fight is over and you are still standing. You’ve got this! Just stand.

Challenge:

Do you feel defeated? Do you find your spiritual life lying on the mat refusing to get up? Has exhaustion set in to your soul? It’s time to stand. List your top 3 spiritual battles. Pray and ask God why these 3 seem to continually knock you down. In 3 words or less write beside each one how you’ll counter this week to remain standing instead of falling in defeat. A great fighter is not someone who avoids every hit. It is one who remains standing after the last punch is thrown.
