STANDING STILL IN FAITH
, by V4&After LLC, 2 min reading time
Life has a way of throwing storms our way—challenges that shake our confidence, trials that test our patience, and uncertainties that make us question if we’re strong enough to endure. But in those moments, when the winds rage and the world tells us to panic, God calls us to stand still in faith.
“For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.” – 2 Timothy 1:7
Faith Over Fear
Fear tells us to run, to doubt, to let anxiety take control. But faith stands firm, declaring that God is greater than the storm. When fear tries to overwhelm, we must remind ourselves that God has already equipped us with power, love, and a sound mind—three incredible weapons against uncertainty.
- Power – The strength to endure, to stand firm, and to face any obstacle with confidence in God’s promises.
- Love – The unwavering assurance that God cares for us deeply, giving us peace in the middle of life’s battles.
- A Sound Mind – Clarity, wisdom, and peace when the world tries to shake our foundation.
God has not given us fear—He has given us faith to stand strong.
Standing Still Doesn’t Mean Doing Nothing
When God calls us to "stand still," He isn’t asking us to sit passively. Standing still in faith means holding onto His promises, trusting in His timing, and remaining confident that He is working even when we can’t see it.
Think about the Israelites at the Red Sea (Exodus 14). Trapped between Pharaoh’s army and the waters, fear must have gripped their hearts. But Moses told them:
"Do not be afraid. Stand firm and you will see the deliverance the Lord will bring you today."
Instead of panicking, they stood still, trusting that God would make a way. And He did—splitting the sea and leading them to victory.
Choosing to Stand in Faith Daily
Every day, we have a choice: Will we let fear shake us, or will we stand firm in faith?
- Stand on His Word – Meditate on Scriptures that remind you of God’s strength.
- Pray with Boldness – Bring your fears to God and ask Him for courage.
- Declare His Promises – Speak His truth over your life, rejecting fear.
- Wait with Expectation – Trust that He is working behind the scenes.
God never intended for us to live in fear. He has given us everything we need to stand strong, walk boldly, and live confidently in Him.
Today, let’s choose to stand still in faith, knowing that God is with us, for us, and ahead of us. Fear may come knocking, but faith stands firm.
