Secure
A strong spirit can steady a shaky soul
as Father God lassoes my thoughts
bringing them back to His promises
that give me strength to stand
on the shifting sands
of circumstances…
Where the current creeps closer
closing in on me
attempting to drag me into the dangerous depths of despair
and I have to do what Scripture says
Stand my ground
Stand strong
Stand.

Ephesians 6 vs 13
“Therefore take up the full armour of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you will be able to stand your ground, and having done everything, to stand.
Therefore, put on the complete armor of God, so that you will be able to [successfully] resist and stand your ground in the evil day [of danger], and having done everything [that the crisis demands], to stand firm [in your place, fully prepared, immovable, victorious].”
Ephesians 6 vs 13-18 The Message
“Be prepared. You’re up against far more than you can handle on your own. Take all the help you can get, every weapon God has issued, so that when it’s all over but the shouting you’ll still be on your feet. Truth, righteousness, peace, faith, and salvation are more than words. Learn how to apply them. You’ll need them throughout your life. God’s Word is an indispensable weapon. In the same way, prayer is essential in this ongoing warfare. Pray hard and long. Pray for your brothers and sisters. Keep your eyes open. Keep each other’s spirits up so that no one falls behind or drops out.”
