We do not dare to classify or compare ourselves with some who commend themselves. When they measure themselves by themselves and compare themselves with themselves, they are not wise.
2 Corinthians 10:12
So, knowing that you set your own bar with God, where will you set it? What will you stand for? Against? How does that change your walk? Your talk? Your decisions?
Iron sharpens iron. When the trying times come - and all you are is compromised from all directions - remember: our GOD is stronger! bigger! around forever!
He clothes us with armour to protect and defend in Ephesians 6:10-18 in the Message:
A Fight to the Finish
10-12And that about wraps it up. God is strong, and he wants you strong. So take everything the Master has set out for you, well-made weapons of the best materials. And put them to use so you will be able to stand up to everything the Devil throws your way. This is no afternoon athletic contest that we'll walk away from and forget about in a couple of hours. This is for keeps, a life-or-death fight to the finish against the Devil and all his angels. 13-18Be 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.
It's what God says about you that makes the difference. Live your life with a sense of victory and purpose.
Press in and press on,
Giselle
