stand your ground

 If you do not stand firm in your faith, you will not stand at all.

- Isaiah 7:9b (NIV)

 

It is that time of year when the haters come out to hate.
The other day I saw a post in a Facebook craft group that said “If I wanted to join a Christian group I would have” because someone posted a “Jesus is the Reason” craft.
I mean, come on, crafters are doing all sorts of Christmas crafts, and you really thought you wouldn’t see one about Jesus?
We wouldn’t have Christmas with out Him, but I digress. 

Most of the thousands of members of the group said the same thing, they were all standing together in faith.
It’s been a minute since I did any song reference, so let’s look at a snippet from Lauren Daigle’s “O’ Lord”, released in 2015:
Though times it seems like I'm coming undone

This walk can often feel lonely

No matter what until this race is won

I will stand my ground

Where hope can be found

I will stand my ground

Where hope can be found

Oh! O' Lord, o' Lord, I know You hear my cry

Your love is lifting me above all the lies

No matter what I face this I know in time

You'll take all that is wrong and make it right

You'll take all that is wrong and make it right

Your strength is found at the end of my road

Your grace—it reaches to the hurting

Still through the tears and the questioning why

I will stand my ground

Where hope can be found!

I will stand my ground

Where hope can be found!

Oh, O' Lord, O' Lord, I know You hear my cry

Your love is lifting me above all the lies

No matter what I face this I know in time

You'll take all that is wrong and make it right

You'll take all that is wrong and make it right

What a powerful message.

We must stand up for what we believe in, because if we don’t, well then, we end up following the wrong people and doing the wrong things and then we aren’t standing at all.
