Spiritual Warfare: 'Don’t Just Do Something; Stand There'

God's Power for Our Battles — Saturday, October 31, 2026

Be still, and know that I am God! I will be honored by every nation. I will be honored throughout the world. The Lord of Heaven’s Armies is here among us; the God of Israel is our fortress.
— Psalm 46:10-11 NLT

Today's Prayer

Lord, the world tells me not to just stand here, but to DO something; but Your wisdom is greater than the world’s wisdom. I needed to hear this today, Lord. I needed to be told to stand still and watch YOU accomplish Your purpose in my life. I am watching, Lord, and I look forward to honoring You for how You come through for me-again. Thank You, Lord. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
