Having Done All, Stand!!
That has really stood out to me over the last couple of days since Weebie shared the following comment “My Dad always use to say to me … when you’ve done all you know to do, just stand. ” She was writing this in reference to my Storms of Life post.
In Ephesians 6:13 the Amplified Bible we read, “Therefore put on God’s complete armour, that you may be able to resist and stand your ground on the evil day [of danger], and, having done all the crisis demands, to stand [firmly in your place]”
What an awesome word of encouragement. That in the midst of the battles, in the midst of the storms, which I am watching from the porch at this very moment, the trees are bending and darkness seems to cover all, but in the midst of all this, in the midst of the storm we are to put on the full armor of God, we are to be clothed in the Lord, in His strength, in His power. We are to stand and resist, to be unshaken, unmovable because we stand not in our strength, nor in our power. We stand in the Lord, our strength is in Him. He is our anchor in the storms of life.
Let us stand firmly in the Lord, knowing that we have done all that we know to do in this battle, this storm, this trial and that He will bring us through and we will be stronger because of that which He has worked in us.
Having done all, let us Stand!!
Till tomorrow,
Paul
