The battle is set. It’s time to take your fighting stance. When you look around, you see that you are the only one standing. Know that you are not the only one who experienced this.
A young man stepped up as the army of Israel cowered behind him. Standing by himself in front of a giant from the enemy’s camp, he won the battle in one swift move. His name was David. (1 Samuel 17:41-54).
A young Jewish girl living in captivity risked her life to save her nation from annihilation. She knows this weight is carried only on her shoulders. If she doesn’t step up, her race could be wiped out. So she reveals herself to her enemy and he ends up being the one taken out. Her name was Esther (Esther 4:14-17).
A carpenter’s son, a nomad with 12 friends who travels Israel to share His word, is betrayed and abandoned by His friends because they are afraid of the fate He must face. He faces it anyways. In one painful death and one marvelous resurrection, He saves the world and gives us the gift of Grace and Eternal Life. His name is Jesus (Matthew 28:55-56).
Their secret is that they never were alone, but God was with them the entire time. Don’t ever think that you have to face anything truly by yourself.
With God, all things are possible. Sometimes God wants to strip us from anything that might distract us from Him. Have faith that God has it under control. Stand firm in your stance and follow God to lead. He will get you through it! Just trust Him!
Be blessed, dear friends. Don’t forget God has you!!
Boldly Radiant
