Christ stands above us as the Lord we worship. He stands below us to support us. He stands by us as our Companion on the journey. He stands inside us to strengthen us. In His standing we stand. We stand on His promises. We stand by His grace. We stand on Him as our Solid Rock. We stand up and confess Him before men. He will stand up and confesses us before His Father.
“Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might. Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore, take up the full armor of God, so that you will be able to resist in the evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm.” Ephesians 6:10-13 (NASB)
