Now I KNOW that the Lord saves His anointed; He answers from His holy heaven with the saving power of His right hand. Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the Lord our God. They are brought to their knees and fall, but we rise up and STAND FIRM. Psalm 20:6-8

Ready to dig straight in?! Stop. Talk to our wonderful God.

Then... Let's go!

Read Psalm 4.

Especially notice: [6] KNOW that the Lord has set apart the godly for Himself; the Lord will hear when I call to Him.

How do we KNOW... [VERB FORM...greater truth] that the Lord has set us apart? In other words, how should we LIVE what we KNOW here?

[5] Offer right sacrifices and trust in the Lord.

What are [right sacrifices]?
Read: Psalm 57:1, Romans 12:1, Hebrews 13:5, 1 Samuel 15:22, Psalm 5

Are you getting what I'm going for here?? It's NOT the answer you're used to hearing. It's wherever you are today... just digging one step deeper to LIVE what you KNOW.

For Discussion: We've talked a lot about the life God promises. What is expected of us? Where should we STAND to embrace the fullness of abundant life in Christ? Here are some words we've mentioned... all of them important. Let's write out here this weekend: HOW WE CAN LIVE THEM. [Redeemed, friend, child, seen, perspective, worshiper.]

Have you tried kneeling to pray yet? Have you made it a habit? Please go before your Awesome Heavenly Father on your knees just once today. You will be blessed through submitting yourself to Him. Guaranteed.

Live your life in worship of your God. Today. We are ALL worshippers. The term is not set aside for Christians. Our lives are all lived in respect for someone or something. What do you worship? He has given us greater joy. Greater love. Greater life. Let's LOVE HIM DEEPER TODAY. Again... We are the ones who come away blessed. Life abundant my friends! GREATER... JOY.

Are you willing to do something about these things you're reading? Make a game plan!

Instead of your shame you will have a double portion, and instead of humiliation they will shout for joy over their portion. Therefore they will possess a double portion in their land, everlasting joy will be theirs. Isaiah 61:7

Friends, please don't live another day without taking a [step forward] to STAND in Christ! Give Him the worship and honor He deserves. He is God. LOVE HIM ON PURPOSE.

"Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me." Philippians 3:12

But we are NOT of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who believe [KNOW] and are saved. Hebrews 10:39

BE FILLED WITH JOY TODAY! HE HAS TAKEN HOLD OF US!!! LET'S PRESS FORWARD TO TAKE HOLD OF HIM!

STAND....right where you are! This Bible study was a huge blessing in my life as I was able to participate online while continuing my "at home care" of my mother! Each day I was able to draw out what was needed in my own life, and as I was able, I had the opportunity to share online with other participants what God's word was teaching me. The study itself invoked fresh thoughts of ancient scriptures - proving the enduring power and relevance of God's word. I recommend this study to anyone who wants to experience the awesome wonder of a loving God speaking to your heart.

STAND is a down-to-earth look at what the Bible has to say about the difficult times that we all face in our lives. It looks at practical ways to make it through those times without feeling like you're drowning. It's great to study with other people and have such an easy format to share your thoughts and questions. (you can use my first name, last name, or anonymous - whichever you prefer) – Amy

You can submit your thoughts by sending an email to the5.2project@gmail.com or simply drop your thoughts in the box above and they'll come straight to us. * Please put "STAND" in the subject line. We'll post your entry the same day. If the box fills up, that's ok! Just send us another one, or use the email address! Looking forward to hearing from you!!!

Send us a picture of your rainy day (shoes... boots... bare feet... :) and we'll post them below! The5.2project.gmail.com
