Ever feel like giving up? Or course you do. Everyone does at some point. But we are commanded in God’s Word, not to give up, but to stand. Stand. And not just stand, but fight as well.
One of our favorite movie series, is the Avengers. And if there was a favorite Avenger, it just might be Captain America. No, this blog post isn’t really farm related, but as my pastor was preaching yesterday, I couldn’t help but think of one of those movies and I wanted to share. Captain America is known for standing up and not backing down from a fight. Even before he became “Captain America “ he refused to back down from a fight even though he was smaller and not as strong.
In this particular movie clip, Captain America is standing for and protecting his lifelong friend. He is standing for what he believes is right and protecting what he believes is the truth. Nothing could change his mind, not even another friend. He is willing to fight, even to death, for what he believes in. (Spoiler Alert – he wins….)
Friends, whether you are in the fight of your life, for your health, your children, your marriage, whatever it is, FIGHT! Don’t be convinced to stay down. Don’t be persuaded to give up. DO NOT give in to the lies of the enemy that say you are alone, and that you can’t win. YOU CAN DO IT! Philippians 4:13
Stand for yourself. Stand for your family. Stand for your marriage. Stand for your country.
We as Americans, are being pressured to stay down. Everyday, the pressures are increasing to keep us quiet and in fear. Don’t give in. Stand. Stand for truth and justice. Stand for right and those things that are measured against God’s Word. Now more than ever, we have to STAND.
So today, get back up, even though you have been hit over and over. Today, even though it takes everything you’ve got to get off the ground, in the words of Captain America, you can look at the enemy and say, “I can do this all day!”
Little children, you are from God and have overcome them, for He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.
