Stand Therefore

Ephesians 6:13b–14a  … and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore …

The other day, I heard someone talking about their favorite Bible verse and immediately mine came to me. It is Ephesians 6:13b-14a. I have quoted it many times to myself knowing the encouragement it gives me in times of testing, discouragement, and confusion.

I know that no matter what situation I am in that if I have done everything that God has asked me to do, lived my life following Him and have reached the point that I just don’t know what to do next. I am to stand with God until He tells me where to go or what to do next.

¹⁷And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
