Nine of Wands
When Jerusalem and Judah were on the brink of the captivity as Assyria taunted the soldiers on walls with their impending doom, Hezekiah called on the prophet Isaiah and cried out to God. In those days, Hezekiah fell sick and was at the point of death; once again he sought the prophet and cried out to God. Although God had appointed destruction, he heeded the faith of Hezekiah who took his last stand in prayer. (Isaiah 36 and 38)
Moses said, "Fear not, stand firm and see the salvation of the LORD which he shall work for you today." (Exodus 14:13)
Paul warned, "Be watchful. Stand firm in the faith." (1 Corinthians 16:13)
Take up the full armor of God that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm: the belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, shoes made ready by the good news, the shield of faith, and the helmet of salvation.
As the priests guarded the tabernacle and the temple and as David guarded Jerusalem, so guard your heart which holds the wellsprings of life.
With the help of the Holy Spirit, guard the good deposit entrusted to you. (2 Timothy 1:14)
