What are you doing when situations arise that challenge your faith? Are you standing and holding on to the Word you know or are you giving up and accepting defeat? God wants us to stand in faith. He wants us to hold on to the promises He has given us in His Word. We have to understand challenges will come but we are strong enough to take a stand in faith and it is our faith that will usher us into the promises and the provision of God.
When you stand in faith, you stand based on what God has said He will do. You stand knowing that He is all-knowing and all-powerful and it is up to Him to do what He has promised He will do. So often in life we try to stand in our own strength. We say we are in faith but in essence we are allowing our dependence to be on our own ability and not Gods. We look at what we can do and we base our ability to succeed by conceding to our inabilities. When you look at inabilities, you look at your lack of power, resources, and capacity. You look at what you cannot do instead of taking a stand based on what God will do for you. Our faith has to always be based on God's power, His resources, and His capacity and not our own.
We have to get to the point of basing our stand on what God can and will do for us. We have to know that there is nothing to hard for God. We have to trust and we have to believe that He will honor His Word in and through our lives. We have to stand in the midst of challenges and remember we are champions in and with Him.
SCRIPTURE MEDITATION
1 Corinthians 9:24
Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but only one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may win.
