“…Unless your faith is firm, I cannot make you stand firm.” Isaiah 7:9 (NLT)
“…Listen to me, Judah and people of Jerusalem! Have faith in the LORD your God and you will be upheld; have faith in his prophets and you will be successful.” 2 Chronicles 20:20 (NIV)
God promises that if we have faith in Him, if we believe in Him, if we put our trust in Him, we will stand firm, we will be established (be secured), we will be upheld (defended). God is all powerful. God is almighty. So when we are faced with hardships, trials, tribulations - when it seems that we will be overcome by them, trust in the Lord! Have faith in Him! Believe in Him! And He will make us stand firm so we are not overcome. But if we don't have faith in God, if we don't trust Him, God can not do anything for us.
