This might be later in some time zones, but here where I live it still is the 6th, haha…!

My bible devotion from this morning was in Second Timothy 4:17: “The Lord will stand with you and give you strength.” I used to stand for a lot of things. One was my intellect, another was my heart with matters I knew weren’t good but I followed them recklessly anyway. Both were not good!

It is good to have intelligence but mine was not built on anything that could stand. I should tell people who think they “know” the wisdom of all that matters that what my thoughts were in actuality were like a “house” of lies. They stood against the truth of God’s Word. Following His ways I also have seen how awesome it is to be in Him, God’s Son Jesus Christ. Also the bible says, “If God is for us, who can be against us?” Romans 8:31.

I hope one day you will ‘stand’ for what is true. Let it be from something that is truth as well!
