What does it take to STAND? What does it take to RUN? Willingness, resolve, endurance, faith, trust. Faith: The substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Sarah, Moses Rahab, Gideon, Barak Samson, Jepthah . . . these all believed in something that they couldn’t see. Out of weakness they were made strong! Don’t look for a “problem-free” life! Flatline means dead . . . James 1:2 Count it all joy when you fall into various trials . . . testing . . . It’s easier to stand when you have a wall of people praying for you, a wall of armor! Find some people to be your wall! Don’t stand alone!
