I am reading through the Bible for the second year in a row. Over the years I have done lots of studies, but not this consistent reading. It is pretty amazing.
We have been going through some pretty tough times. I am feeling pretty weary. About a week ago the scripture that stood out was Luke 21:19 - Stand firm (blogged on it already).
Today my scripture - Exodus 14:13-14 "Moses answered the people, "Do not be afraid. Stand firm and you will see the deliverance the Lord will bring you today...The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still."
Both the Old and New Testaments are telling me to Stand Firm and I will receive life and deliverance. And, God will fight for me, I just need to be still.
It is so incredible to think the Creator of the Universe knew I needed to hear these words at this point in my life, not once but twice.
So I will stand firm in the Lord, knowing He is in control and that all the chaos surrounding me will bring Him glory and honor.
Amen! Keep standing firm and those around you will continue to follow your lead. We can all use this reminder from time to time. Especially those tough times!
