Stand
We know we have the power of the almighty God behind us, but what are we doing on our part to be prepared for the struggles in our life journey? However, we often go into a life journey battle feeling defeated and feel like sitting down and giving up. The Apostle Paul writes for us to have an active faith because there are things we need to do on our part to prepare and protect ourselves. The Lord strengthens us so that we can be in the best position in our mission of serving God. Like the missions that soldiers take on, our mission in our life journey requires preparation, sacrifice, submission to authority, and the right equipping of weapons. It is going to take actions to constantly arm ourselves each and every day so that we may be ready to defend ourselves against the devil’s schemes and ultimately be able to STAND!
