Stand Firm

“Stand firm and you will see the deliverance the LORD will bring you today.” (Exodus 14:13)

Are you being confronted with a circumstance or difficulties in your life today? What am I to do when I cannot retreat or go forward and my way is blocked to the right or to the left?

The Master’s word to you is Stand Firm. The best thing you can do during these times is to listen only to the Master’s words, for others will come to you with their suggestions and evil advice. Despair will come, whispering “give up- lie down and die. It is too difficult for you to continue living the part of a Christian, abandon your principles.” No matter how much Satan may pressure you to follow his course, you cannot, for you are a child of God. The Lord’s divine decree has commanded that we go from strength to strength (Psalm 84:7), therefore neither death nor hell shall turn you from your course.

Stand Firm, you must maintain the posture of one who stands ready for action, expecting further orders and cheerfully and patiently awaiting the Director’s voice. It will not be long until God will say to you as he told Moses to tell the children of Israel, Stand Firm.

 
Prayer:
Lord, despite what kind of despair comes my way I will plant myself in you. I will lend my ears only to hear your voice and not the whispers of Satan. Please remove those from me who speak negativity to me, please send those to help encourage and lift me up during this time. Thank you that I have strength in you and I am able to stand firm. In Jesus name, Amen!
