It is amazing to me that God has a word for us in every circumstance. Here within the last week, the enemey has really been attacking our family. Although I find no point in rehashing all the details I will just say that he has come at us at every angle possible. HOWEVER, God is good! After talking with our pastor, mentor and dear friend Rev Felicia Hopkin's she sent me to a powerful passage in scripture that really is what I am hanging on to in this time of trial.
Ephesians 6:10-16 says:
Finally my bretheren, be strong in the Lord and in the power if HIS might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand, therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of rightousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one.


So, I will stand! I will stand with faith and peace--that although our family is under attack the Lord gives us the weapons of truth and rightousness. I will stand firm in his word and his promises of redemption... because as for me and my house--WE WILL SERVE THE LORD!
