9 If you don’t take your stand in faith,
you won’t have a leg to stand on.”
There are obvious references to the coming Christ in this chapter, which is pretty cool. I find it interesting that the subject of that prediction really isn't about Jesus at all. Its about the state of Isreal, and how it relates to the current situation of being surrounded by multiple armies. God is telling them not to worry. By the time the Christ comes, those 2 armies won't even exist, and you will!
But, I like verse 9. It reminds me of a country song. "If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything." It reminds me to live my life as if my faith is my most prized possession. How would my life look if that was truly the case? HHHHHHmmmmmmmmmmm....something to think about.
peace
great verse and challenge for us every day. I also liked reading the crisp phrophecy and promise of how Jesus would come to us.
