STAND!
/Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong. -- 1 Corinthians 16:13 NIV
On a daily basis, you are confronted with many situations, both positive and negative. Just by looking at the news, dealing with your family, facing constant changes on the job; your mind is constantly grinding. Every day presents a new challenge; yet, every day presents new strengths and mercies also!
No matter what you are facing or will face, you still have a solid ground and that is being true to whom you are and the convictions of your heart.
Today and every today going forward, I am challenging myself to deal with and confront any issues that may come my way, with a stance. A stance that is pleasing to God and not to man.
Strong
Tall
Able
Now
Determined
Today and every today going forward, I will Stand Strong. Stand Tall. Stand Able. Stand Now. Stand Determined. If you also took a stance, what would it do for your life?
"Look carefully then how you walk! Live purposefully and worthily and accurately, not as the unwise and witless, but as wise (sensible, intelligent people), making the very most of the time [buying up each opportunity], because the days are evil. Therefore do not be vague and thoughtless and foolish, but understanding and firmly grasping what the will of the Lord is." – Ephesians 5:15-17 Amplified Bible
Action: Grab a pen and paper or open a document on your computer. Let’s journal. Think about your life at this moment. Write down the matters of your heart and mind. Pray over these issues. Cast these issues to God! Take a stand. Stand firm. Stand strong. Confront any issue(s) and deal with them so that you may reclaim your power, your joy, and your peace!
Questions: What influences you? What are you dealing with? What are some unresolved or recurring issues in your life? What plagues your mind and your heart? What tosses you to and fro like the waves of the sea and you need to anchor down and confront that issue(s) or that thought?
