Day 5: Standing Strong on the Promises of God’s Word

When the journey makes your legs feel weak and weariness sets in, you need something solid to hold onto. You cannot stand on your money, your education, or your own neighborhood, but you can stand on the Word of God. His Word promises that He will never leave you nor forsake you and that no weapon formed against you shall prosper. Even when you are troubled on every side or perplexed, the Word provides the firm ground you need to keep your head up. By leaning on His divine power, you can rebuke the enemy and find the hope to stand firm.

Isaiah 54:17 – No weapon that is fashioned against you shall succeed, and you shall confute every tongue that rises against you in judgment. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord and their vindication from me, declares the Lord.

Reflection: Which specific promise from God’s Word do you need to “stand on” today to help you keep your head up amidst the noise of people talking or the confusion of your circumstances?
