Whose Stronghold Are You Holding On To?

We all go through times in life where we feel stuck in a situation and it takes forever to get out of it. Some days are overwhelming and exhausting, some are low and dull. But, we have a choice to make in days like these.

We can choose to hold on to God's stronghold of faith, love, joy and peace; or we can hold on the Devil's stronghold of hopelessness, hatred, despair and anxiety.

The only difference is that, holding on the Devil's stronghold will keep you bound in his sad and dark situation, but holding on to God's stronghold will pull you out of the pit and surprise you beyond your imagination!

What do you choose today?

When the Lord brought back the captives to Zion (Jerusalem), We were like those who dream [it seemed so unreal]. Then our mouth was filled with laughter And our tongue with joyful shouting; Then they said among the nations, “The Lord has done great things for them.” They who sow in tears shall reap with joyful singing. He who goes back and forth weeping, carrying his bag of seed [for planting], Will indeed come again with a shout of joy, bringing his sheaves with him.
PSALMS 126:1‭-‬2‭, ‬5‭-‬6 AMP

PONDER

Where there is no [wise, intelligent] guidance, the people fall [and go off course like a ship without a helm], But in the abundance of [wise and godly] counselors there is victory.
PROVERBS 11:14 AMP

We often run for help and advice in times of chaos. The matter if concern is, where do we run? The scripture clearly mentions wise and godly counsel.

Human nature is such that it seeks for counsel and accepts only that which makes one feel right and the others at fault. Such counsel doesn't lead to conviction, confession and repentance. Seeking counsel from those wwho don't know the Word, will only lead you astray. The only thing that will keep you from falling, is taking counsel from the right (Spirit-filled) people and the right place (God's presence).
