Stand Up For Jesus

Today I felt the need for a little pep talk, and I am sure that many of you could use the same. I just read another blog that was encouraging it's readers to stand up for what they believe in. This is so important, more now than ever before.

Ephesians 6:13-15
Wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

Many people leave out that last comma when reading this verse. But that comma is really important. This is God telling us to continue to stand even after we have done all that we can do.

Why would He tell us to continue to stand even after we have exhausted our resources? Because He knows that He can continue to use us even after we think that we have done everything in our own power. We are not standing there alone. He is standing behind us.

Hebrews 13:5b
...for He hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.

If you play close attention, even though it seems that we are in very perilous times, there are people out there who are now seeking the truth who have never done so before. You may not even have to approach them. They will see you standing for what you believe in and they may approach you and ask you about it.

Sure, it is still important to spread The Word, but if you are standing strong, you might just be surprised at who approaches you. Remember: the world is watching us to see what we are doing.

God Bless!
