Stand Strong in Faith
Donnie McClurkin’s song “Stand” asks a powerful question: What do you do when you've done all you can, but it still feels like it's not enough? The answer? You just stand.
Life can feel overwhelming. Every day, we’re hit with bad news—natural disasters, political chaos, economic struggles, and heartbreaking tragedies. It’s easy to feel helpless, wondering if anything we do really makes a difference. But when we’ve done all we can, God calls us to stand firm in faith and do everything in love (1 Corinthians 16:13-14).
Standing for God doesn’t mean pretending life is easy or ignoring challenges. It means holding on to His promises, even when things feel uncertain. Our faith isn’t just about believing—it’s about trusting that God is still in control. Faith works through love (Galatians 5:6), so when we stand in love, we stand in strength.
The enemy wants to shake our confidence, fill us with doubt, and distract us from God’s truth. But the Bible tells us to put on the full armor of God so we can stand strong in difficult times (Ephesians 6:13). God has always been faithful—just as He rescued the Israelites from Egypt and told them to stand still and watch Him work (Exodus 14:13), He is still working today.
So, no matter what comes our way, let’s stand for God—fully, consistently, and with unwavering faith. When we stand for Him, He stands with us.
