Every believer has a call to stand firm in our faith.
This is always a need because our salvation does not guarantee us a struggle-free life.
Even though God has graciously given us access to His limitless supply of peace, life’s storms often try to knock the wind out of us.
We can however be proactive and call upon our Lord.
We get to turn as often as possible to His Word to arm ourselves with the weapon of faith.
Now, perhaps more than ever, the body of Christ need to stand firm in a world with shifting systems and unstable governments.
Here at Stating Faith, we are hungry for as much scripture as possible to help remind us how to stand firm.
Follow along with us and meditate on each ‘stand firm’ scripture below. You can use each one as a prayer or journaling prompt much like this.
