"Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil." Ephesians 6:11
What does it mean to stand firm? Having conviction. Not backing down in face of peer pressure. Being the lone ranger at times to stand up for truth. You many have heard the saying “if you don’t stand for something you will fall for anything” and there is wisdom and truth in that.
When the Bible says something is truth and popular culture disagrees, who do you stand with or what do you stand for?To be firm is to be like cemented in to the ground where if a violent rushing wind or flood waters came you will not fall down under that pressure. You know the truth so why do you let mere men or the news media lead you astray from what you know is right?
You are in a battle of good versus evil. God and the devil. No in between neutral ground. You are either for God or against Him. You either love Him wholeheartedly or you are ice cold because lukewarm is never a good place to be nor is it an option in your life of being sold out to Jesus. You decide. Stand firm or be like a limp piece of spoiled celery only good for the garbage heap.
PRAYER: Lord I love you and I want those close to me to love you and be sold out to you. The Bible says to resist the enemy and he has to flee. I pray for my family to have love for you and for me to never waiver in my standing firm for you. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
