Theme for the year
STAND
Unshaken in Battle
There is a way of standing that does not depend on the size of the giant.
Men have faced armies larger than theirs and did not run. They went out with fewer numbers, less experience, no advantage but a promise, and they did not shrink. Not because the odds were kind, but because they knew their Source.
That is what it means to be unshaken. Not that the battle is small, but that your feet are planted in the One who girds Himself with might.
