Standing

April 9, 2021

Ephesians 6:13-14 (KJV)

13 "Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

14 "Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness..."

Do you remember this old song?

"Standing on the promises of God

Standing on the promises of Christ my King

Through eternal ages let his praises ring

Glory in the highest, I will shout and sing

Standing on the promises of God

"Standing, standing

Standing on the promises of God my Savior

Standing, standing

I'm standing on the promises of God

"Standing on the promises I cannot fall

Listening every moment to the Spirit's call

Resting in my Savior as my all in all

Standing on the promises of God."

Father, thank You for giving us the power to stand firm upon Your promises. As one man said it, “hold your ground, and defend your territory against the enemy.” We submit ourselves to You, and then we resist the devil. Our defenses are found within in Your Word, so we put on the armor that you have given to us. In Jesus's name, Amen.

So, my friends, rejoice; for the steps of a righteous man are ordered by God. Give Him your all, and praise His Holy name.

Blessings on the journey, and remember that the best is yet to come.
