" 'Therefore, King Agrippa, I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision....Therefore, having obtained help from God, to this day I stand.....' "
Acts 26:19, 24a
Paul has just given his testimony before King Agrippa about his conversion – how he had been transformed from a persecutor of the saints (vss. 9-11) to faith after he had met Jesus (vss. 13-18). He could not disobey this revelation so he stood in his faith. Martin Luther had a similar experience when he stood before the leaders of the Roman church. He could not disavow the revelation God had given him. So he said, "Here I stand; I can do no other." When facing unbelievers who attack my faith, my faith rests in the abiding confidence of the "heavenly vision" of the risen Christ, and "having done all, to stand" (Ephesians 6:13).
Today's Thought: The Believer can stand against attacks on his faith when he has had a "heavenly vision" of the Lord Jesus.
Have a "standing" day. Love you.
