"Nevertheless, the firm foundation of God [which He has laid] stands [sure and unshaken despite attacks], bearing this seal: “The Lord knows those who are His,” and, “Let everyone who names the name of the Lord stand apart from wickedness and withdraw from wrongdoing”
(2 Tim. 2:19, Amp).
Let's focus on and break down this amazing scripture:
*The Lord knows you, You are His (despite it all).
*You bear His seal so wear it proudly.
*You stand apart from the world (it's not your home anyway).
*God laid a firm foundation for you, so no matter what, stand sure and unshaken.
As we live in the light and love of God, may we not be shaken for we are continually blessed. God provides spiritual blessings that are rooted in His grace that can never be taken away. May we also see earthly blessings all around us each day as we continually walk with Him. Always have complete trust and faith in the Lord. Know that your needs will be met according to His divine plan. Humbly stand on God's foundation with a sure, unshakeable, and firm faith. Stay in God's word so you may hear His voice. Break down His word, personalize it, and store it in your heart so you will always know truth. Mighty is His Word!
"Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God [set aside self-righteous pride], so that He may exalt you [to a place of honor in His service] at the appropriate time, casting all your cares [all your anxieties, all your worries, and all your concerns, once and for all] on Him, for He cares about you [with deepest affection, and watches over you very carefully]. Be sober [well balanced and self-disciplined], be alert and cautious at all times. That enemy of yours, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion [fiercely hungry], seeking someone to devour. But resist him, be firm in your faith [against his attack—rooted, established, immovable], knowing that the same experiences of suffering are being experienced by your brothers and sisters throughout the world. [You do not suffer alone]" (1 Pet. 5:6-9, Amp).
Thank You, Father for the firm foundation You set forth for us so we may stand sure and unshaken. Help us to continue to stand firmly when attacks come our way. We praise You, Father that we belong to You and You have set us apart for we belong to You. May we continue to live in Your light for others to see You through us. Thank you for blessing us with Your unconditional love. In Jesus Holy Name, Amen.
