He Stands with You
In 2 Timothy 4:16-17 (NLT), the Apostle Paul says: “The first time I was brought before the judge, no one came with me. Everyone abandoned me. May it not be counted against them. But the Lord stood with me and gave me strength so that I might preach the Good News in its entirety for all the Gentiles to hear. And he rescued me from certain death.” The Lord stands with you and strengthens you too.
Yahweh rescues us from our troubles and helps us to triumph over our enemies. (See Psalm 54:7) For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places. (Ephesians 6:12 NLT) If God is for us, who can ever be against us? (See Romans 8:31 NLT) There is no one or nothing that can prevail against the LORD. Thanks be to God, who always leads us from place to place in one perpetual victory parade, in Christ, the Messiah. (See 2 Corinthians 2:14 NASB/MSG)
