Stand

What do you do when you don’t know what to do?  

Ephesians 6:12 says, …”Having done all….stand.”  

There are times when that’s all you can do.  When you’re in the middle of a difficult physical, relational, financial or spiritual challenge today and you’ve exhausted your own resources to solve your problem, the only thing you can do is give it to God.  He is not wringing His hands about your situation because it took Him by surprise.  He is fully aware of what you’re going through and fully capable of giving you the answer to your problem somehow and someway.

James 1:25 "But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed."


In spite of the negative circumstances you face today, if you continue to look into the perfect law of liberty, which is the Word of God, you have the ability to respond to each circumstance and situation with faith in God armed with what you need to stand.

God hasn’t forgotten you or forsaken you.  He knows exactly what you’re going through today and He has an answer for your situation.  Your strength and your resources may be gone, but God’s strength and resources are unlimited.  Put a song of praise in your heart today, and stand and see the salvation of the Lord.

Let this be your prayer today:

"Dear Lord, I do not know what else to do. I have done everything that I know is possible. I literally don't know what else to do. So it's in your courts and I come there with praise and expectation. If you don't do what is needed then perfect your will in my situation. I do trust in you. Amen"
