Stand Firm

You will not have to fight this battle. Take up your positions;

stand firm and see the deliverance the LORD will give you, O Judah and Jerusalem.

Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.

Go out to face them tomorrow, and the LORD will be with you.

2 Chronicles 20:17

Our tendency is to avoid difficulties at all costs.

When the going gets tough, many of us get going... in the opposite direction!

Too many of us run from anything that is hard.

We run from our problems.

We run from responsibility.

We run from people we don't like.

We run from our past.

We run from anything that makes us uncomfortable.

Instead of facing the issues of this life and dealing with them,

we just take the easy way out and ride down the path of least resistance.

HOWEVER...

If you are going to experience the victory that God intends for you to have

you must learn to face your challenges head on.

Today's Scripture does not say,

"Keep running until you see the salvation of the Lord."

Neither does it say,

"Bury your head in the sand until God delivers you."

Understand this:

God wants us to stand strong,

to set our faces like a flint and fight the good fight of faith.

Here is the good news about this:

you don't have to do it in your own strength!

God has already equipped you with His supernatural power to overcome every obstacle!

Decide today to stand strong and face your life's challenges.

Be bold and courageous!

Dare to be a conqueror!

As you stand in faith,

you will see the deliverance of Almighty God in every area of your life!

Have a blessed & powerful day!
