1 John 4:4<\/strong> – You, dear children,\u00a0are from God and have overcome them,\u00a0because the one who is in you\u00a0is greater than the one who is in the world.<\/em><\/p>\n

1 Timothy 1:12<\/strong> – That is why I am suffering as I am. Yet this is no cause for shame, because I know whom I have believed, and am convinced that he is able to guard what I have entrusted to him until that day.<\/em><\/p>\n

Yeah, I’ve been hit.<\/p>\n

So what?<\/p>\n

Yeah, the Lion roared<\/p>\n

In my face.<\/p>\n

So what?<\/p>\n

I have smelled on his breath,<\/p>\n

The stench of rotting souls.<\/p>\n

So what is that to me?<\/p>\n

His roar was so loud,<\/p>\n

I almost went deaf.<\/p>\n

So what?<\/p>\n

In the face of the lion,<\/p>\n

I stare into His face,<\/p>\n

I will not blink!<\/p>\n

When the lion roars,<\/p>\n

I smile back at him.<\/p>\n

Smelling the souls on his breath,<\/p>\n

I know,<\/p>\n

Mine will never be one of them.<\/p>\n

When the others faint,<\/p>\n

Because the lion is fierce,<\/p>\n

I stand on solid ground,<\/p>\n

Dug in deep,<\/p>\n

Strongly supported,<\/p>\n

By Him.<\/p>\n

I stand,<\/p>\n

From standing I advance,<\/p>\n

There is no cry that will be,<\/p>\n

Heard from me.<\/p>\n

I believe more in what I cannot see,<\/p>\n

Than what I can see.<\/p>\n

The devil approaches,<\/p>\n

So what?<\/p>\n

God is with me,<\/p>\n

I will not stop going forward,<\/p>\n

I will not back down,<\/p>\n

Because of the Lord.<\/p>\n

So as far as circumstances,<\/p>\n

So what?<\/p>\n

P<\/strong>salm 150:6<\/strong>\u00a0–\u00a0Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.\u00a0 Praise the Lord!<\/p>\n

Micah 7:7<\/strong>\u00a0–\u00a0But as for me, I watch\u00a0in hope\u00a0for the\u00a0Lord, I wait for God my Savior; my God will hear\u00a0me.<\/p>\n

Micah 6:8<\/strong>\u00a0–\u00a0He has shown You, O man, what\u00a0is\u00a0good; and what does the\u00a0Lord\u00a0require of You but to do justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with Your God.<\/p>\n

Numbers 6:24-26<\/strong>\u00a0\u201cThe\u00a0Lord\u00a0bless you and keep you; 25\u00a0the\u00a0Lord\u00a0make His face shine on you and be gracious to you; 26\u00a0the\u00a0Lord\u00a0turn His face\u00a0toward you and give you peace.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
