Be still, my soul, and bless the Lord. "Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits" (Psalm 103:2).
"What a glorious thought it is that all of my sins—fully and not in part—have been nailed to the cross, and I bear them no more "
As the hymn says, "It is well with my soul."
Praise the Lord, O my soul! Let all that is within me bless His holy name (Psalm 103:1; Colossians 2:13–14).
Be still, for the Lord is by your side. "Be still, and know that I am God" (Psalm 46:10).
We do not fight against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world, and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms (Ephesians 6:12).
Therefore, we do not fight the spiritual battle , with the weapons of the carnal flesh (2 Corinthians 10:3–4).
The spiritual weapons God has given us are sufficient through His grace and the power of the Holy Spirit at work within us. They are mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, demolishing arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and taking every thought captive to make it obedient to Christ, our Lord and Saviour (2 Corinthians 10:4–5).
We are called as God's dearly loved children to put on the full armour of God: the belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, the shoes of the gospel of peace, the shield of faith, the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God. Pray at all times in the Spirit (Ephesians 6:13–18). With the shield of faith, you will be able to extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one (Ephesians 6:16).
Stand firm in God's Word, resist the devil, and he will flee from you (James 4:7). Stand your ground, and after you have done everything, continue to stand (Ephesians 6:13–14). Remain steadfast until the glorious day of our Lord's return.
Remember, "Whoever believes will not act hastily" (Isaiah 28:16). Wait patiently for the Lord, for His timing is perfect (Psalm 27:14; James 5:7–8).
Be still, and know that I am God (Psalm 46:10).
