Back in Genesis 49:24, God is called the Rock of Israel…a stone of help…a sure defense, steadfast in faithfulness and permanence. With that in mind, when it’s said for us to stand on the Rock…which should we have more confidence in…our ability to stand, or the Rock on which we stand? Within the passage about the Armor of God in Ephesians 6:10-18, the word “stand” is used in verses 11, 13, and 14, showing that it’s only with the Armor of God that we can withstand the enemy and stand firm. In fact, in verse 10 it starts off by saying, “Be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power.” Thus our standing then depends entirely on God enabling us to stand…or as Romans 14:1 states, “For the Lord is able to make him stand.”
