Stand


“Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. 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.” ~ Ephesians 6:10-13

As Christians, a lot of times we focus too much on action.

We say things like “walk into your season.”

Or “take back what the devil stole from you.”

Or “faith without works is dead.”

While all of that is certainly true, sometimes God doesn’t want us to act.

Sometimes, God just wants us to stand.

Through all that we’re going through, God just wants us to be patient and endure.

It’s hard, but as the Bible says, “obedience is better than sacrifice.”

Stand.

God bless,
J.W.
