friend, what will you stand up for?

Today, co-writer Paul Marc Goulet wrote the message of "A Miracle Every Day". I pray his message and audio will bless you today. -- Some things are worth standing up for.  I’ll never forget the intense fear and anxiety I felt when I was forced to move to a new school. Because of my father's work, we had to move a lot. Each move required the big school transition. The sixth-grade move was the hardest. I entered a school dominated by a bully, and as a new kid in school, I got beat up often.  friend, have you ever been bullied? If you have, I’m so sorry. I know exactly how you felt. My sixth-grade year seemed the worst because no one stood up to the bully, and he consistently targeted the weakest kids in the schoolyard – until one day, I decided to stand up to him. To my surprise, I pinned him to the ground and held him until he cried uncle. I changed that day. Our school changed that day, and the bully became my closest friend. Have you ever stood up to the bullies in your life? Have you ever conquered the fears that intimidate you?  In Habakkuk 2:1-2, we are encouraged to stand, watch and write down the vision of God for our lives. “I will stand my watch And set myself on the rampart, And watch to see what He will say to me, And what I will answer when I am corrected. Then the Lord answered me and said: “Write the vision And make it plain on tablets, That he may run who reads it.”” (Habakkuk 2:1-2, NKJV)   friend, are you fighting for important values? Could this be the decade that you stand up and move forward with the help of God? I believe you are ready to stand for God, your family and your future. If you don’t stand up for something, you’ll fall for anything.  Don’t forget that you are a miracle.  Paul Marc Goulet -- Thank you, Paul Marc, for sharing this today!
