Stand Strong
Taken from Anchor For My Soul
Be on guard. Stand firm in the faith. Be courageous. Be strong. 1 Corinthians 16:13 NLT
When you have done all you know to do, there is only one thing left: to stand. When you remain alert and hold firmly to what you believe, you can persevere in courage. Wisdom does not ignore the world, but it does see from a higher perspective. Stay alert and strong.
Today's verse is describing tenacity. Have the tenacity to stand tall and be aware of what goes on around you. Let faith root you in the goodness and power of God. He can't be fooled, and He is not weak. No matter what, He is faithful. Christ's triumph is sure. Stay rooted in His love, and let it be your courage to keep going no matter how bleak the situation may seem. God is still powerful, merciful, and victorious.
Powerful God,
I am grateful for the power of your love in my life. I don't have to depend on my own strength (or lack of it). Empower me to stand firm in your grace.
