Jesus didn't tell you to weather the storm.

When opposition comes as a great storm, you are not to crouch down and bear it. Don't even hide from it.

Our instruction from God in Ephesians 6 is to be strong in the Lord. As the storm rages, we are to stand firm in His protection.

And when we do, we'll still be standing when the storm is over. Not storm-battered and worn out, but full of joy and peace.

If the battle is wearing you out, it's time to stop fighting. The instruction is not to fight, but to stand firm.

Immoveable. Unshakeable. Unbothered. Confident in God's victorious outcome.

Let the storm rage and keep your eyes on Jesus. Just think of all the energy the enemy is wasting on his defeat.
