Stand
When life is hard, and you are discouraged, it is hard to fight. It is hard to take a stand for what is right. We cannot live like we are defeated when Jesus already won the victory.
Yes, we have to be warriors. We need to put on the armor of God. We need to use the weapons that God has given us, like prayer, praise and worship, and the Bible. If we fall down, we need to get back up. And keep standing. Every single time, stand back up.
