“Stand!”
HELLO FROM THE TEMPLE ….
“Stand!”
This one word has multiple meanings. Stand: take a position – opinion – attitude – belief. Or place – abide – lean – act. Moving forward, stand, got my attention during Pastor Brice’s teaching on: “How to Process Through the Pain?”
“In order to succeed, stand on God’s Word.” – Pastor Victor S. Brice
When going through struggles we tend to focus on what we are going through instead of turning to the One Who can see us through. I’m guilty of this, and I’m sure I’m not the only one. We try to fix our situations ourselves because we are “fix-it” people. When unable to fix our situations we then turn to God.
Why not eliminate the middleman? Why not take yourself out of the equation? Why not go straight to God? We do things the hard way. Ooops! Me again!
“Take a good look at my trouble, and help me.” – Psalm 119:153 (MSG).
This should be your go-to Scripture when going through something. Our pastor has told us time and time again to seek God first. Put Word on your situation. God has promised to “Never leave you, never forsake you.” – Hebrews 13:5 (NIV). Praying Scripture gets God involved. Research Scripture, there is Word for every situation you may find yourself in.
“Stop letting folks co-sign your struggles.” – Pastor Victor S. Brice
Talking to your friends about your situation is just talk. They cannot fix your situation. However, it is nice to have friends who will listen and sympathize with you. But, as for me, when I’m going through struggles – situations – I would prefer to have them fixed. Time for intervention. Seek Him!
“Defend my cause and redeem me; preserve my life according to your promise.” – Psalm 119:154 (NIV).
Stand! Pray for God to intervene in your situation. Give your situation over to God and patiently watch Him work. Stand firm on His Promises. You will always win with God.
