Standing your ground is not always easy. At any point in your life there will usually be two roads – the “easy” give in, go with the flow, blend in, settle for less road; and the “Hard” – reaching for the best road. The reaching the best road requires you to “Stand your ground” Life is full of problems. But for believers like you the fact is that “The problem is not the problem” – the problem is that we get under pressure and begin to waver in our faith. Too many sleepless nighst and stress filled days. Too many ups and downs and emotional roller coasters. The Answer is to “stand”; which means you cast your care onto God, enter Gods rest and stay in faith. (fb)

What do you do while you are waiting for things to change? How do you take your stand? What do you do when nothing seems to be changing? Firstly, I have found this to be a principle that never fails – ‘when you don’t know what to do, do what you know to do.’ It really is that simple. There are things that you know that you can do and whatever the situation they are the spiritual actions you should take – for example, get in the word and find out what it says about your situation, pray the word, speak out what it says; trust God and do good. In the waiting room it is so important that you commit your ways to God. You don’t run off and try everything you know, but instead you commit it to Him. You roll over your cares onto Him; and you leave them there! (fb)
