Stand Firm IN THE LORD

I was encouraged by reading the passage in Ephesians 6 on Putting on the Full Armor of God.  

I do internally cry out, "Ahhhhh, Lord HELP me!" as battles rage all around me.  The enemy is ruthless.  My heart was glued in particular to the words "put on God's whole armor", "put on God's complete armor" in vs 11 and vs 13 (amp).  Along with those words, the repetition of the word "stand" throughout the passage pierced and strengthened my heart.  

The armor is God's.  He supplies it.  I can stand firmly...stand confidently...stand in raging battles...stand ready...stand, not fall.  He's my Truth, my Righteousness, my Peace, my Faith, my Salvation, my Living Word.   

Thank you Father God!  You are my full covering. I stand because of You.
