Stand with Truth

“14 Stand, therefore, with truth like a belt around your waist, righteousness like armor on your chest,….” Ephesians 6:14-20.

That old song came to mind this morning 'Standing on the Promises'. I was able to find the lyrics on the internet:

God wants His glory resting on His people. There should not be any wavering or double mindedness. We are to be of one mind and one accord with Jesus Christ concerning everything in our life. Rejoice! For His promises are sure and obtainable.

Standing on the promises of Christ my King,
Through eternal ages let His praises ring,
Glory in the highest; I will shout and sing,
Standing on the promises of God.

Standing on the promises that cannot fail,
When the howling storms of doubt and fear assail,
By the living Word of God I shall prevail,
Standing on the promises of God.

Standing on the promises I now can see
Perfect, present cleansing in the blood for me;
Standing in the liberty where Christ makes free,
Standing on the promises of God.

Standing on the promises of Christ the Lord,
Bound to Him eternally by love’s strong cord,
Overcoming daily with the Spirit’s sword,
Standing on the promises of God.

Standing on the promises I cannot fall,
Listening every moment to the Spirit’s call,
Resting in my Savior as my all in all,
Standing on the promises of God.

Chorus:
Standing, standing,
Standing on the promises of God my Savior;
Standing, standing,
I’m standing on the promises of God.

Remember Abraham did not waver through unbelief but stood firm in faith to the promise given to him for he was “fully“ persuaded, are you? What is fastened around your waist; God’s truth concerning your circumstance, your feelings, the world‘s view or a promise given in His Word? Jesus said, "I am the way and the truth and the life ..."
