Stand your ground

Every person acquires a system of beliefs, based on teachings and lessons learned from parents, teachers, family or friends. Belief systems govern thoughts, words and actions.


In our Christian Faith, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego Stood their Ground even when death was glaring at them at the end their faith not only saved them but also made them revered. When a person chooses to become a Christian, he has to stand for his salvation and the word of God.

A stand-your-ground law states that a person may use force in self-defense when there is reasonable belief of a threat, without an obligation to retreat first. Standing your ground therefore is not only A Believe but also A Law.

In life there are times that I have not had it all sweet. Moments when retreat was the best solution but   Focus  kept me going. I owe it all to God he has always held me even when I fell. That‘s why I say I am justified by the blood of Jesus Christ.

 I usually look at those people who conform to systems that are beneficial to them but contrary to their own belief and even society. They will justify the means to suit the end. Standing your ground however is representing that which is right and morally acceptable.

Never carry that burden of wanting to please others. Make your own rules and abide by them. Only The Ten...

 Commandments were made by God, Laws are made and implemented by men. Having your principles and standing for what they represents yields reverence for you.
 
Don’t always do what other people are doing just to please them. People pleasers don’t go far; they are used and walked over always. Stand your ground, if it means defending your course alone remember God is watching and guiding you. At the end you will be the only victor. 

Remember:
Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and you have done everything to stand. (Ephesians 6:13)
