Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.  Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. - Ephesians 6: 10 - 17

We are indeed living in difficult times, however, God has trusted us with these times. I believe we have been chosen for such a time as this. Whatever life is looking like for you right now, I want you to know that God trusts you with your challenge. Think of Job. He’s a great example of how we can endure and persevere.

This new year and the new decade I’d like to encourage you to simply stand. The Lord inspired me while reading Ephesians chapter 6 verse 10. In today’s podcast, I share how you can stay encouraged as youSTAND.
