Stand Up

Updated: Feb 23

Sometimes in life, we are called to stand up, whether for our faith, for others or for what’s right. Standing firm is difficult, especially when it means going against the crowd or facing opposition. Yet, the Bible encourages us to have courage in these moments. When we take a stand, we know God is with us, strengthening us.


The apostle Paul reminds us, “Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong” (1 Corinthians 16:13, KJV). These words urge us to remain steadfast, to hold to our convictions, and to rely on God’s strength rather than our own. Standing up doesn’t mean we’re unafraid, but our trust in God overcomes our fears.


In standing firm, we become a light for others, showing them the power of faith and resilience. Our courage can inspire others to seek God’s strength, knowing He is always there for us.


Quote

Standing for God is not weakness; it’s greatness.


Prayer

Lord, help me stand in my faith in every situation. Amen.


Action Point

You don’t have to argue with people; simply state your belief.
