STAND

It would be nice if life was easy. But it isn't. It is a hard-fought war. I will lose the many battles along the way unless I rely on the Lord's strength and power. With His strength I can stand against the storms. I can stand against the hardships. I can face the giants with His hand in mine. I'll be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might (Ephesians 6:10). No weapon formed against me will prosper if I stand in His power (Isaiah 54:17).If I stand in Him, all that tries to destroy me will be defeated.

I will hold unswervingly to the hope I profess, for He who promised is faithful (Hebrews 10:23). Against all foes, large or small, I will say that nothing shall make me afraid. I will stand strong. I will stand rock-solid in His power. Having done all I can.... having given all that I am.... leaning on Him.... relying on Him.... I will stand powerfully and invincibly against any enemy in this life. For He is my refuge. For He is my strength. For He is all that I need.
