When They Want to See You Fall, Stand Firm in God's Word

 

Have you ever felt like people dislike you for no reason? Like the more you rise, the more they want to pull you down? It could be anyone — family members, friends, co-workers, neighbours — people you thought would support you. Instead of helping, they discourage you. When you ask for advice about improving your life, starting a business, or even getting married, they speak words meant to plant doubt and fear.

Sometimes, they don’t want to see you grow. All they wish for is your downfall.

But here's the truth: you don't have to fight them back with hate. You don’t have to prove anything to them. There is only one true and powerful way to overcome — and that’s the way of God.

The Word of God is Your Weapon

The Bible is not just a book — it’s a living, active force that works in your life if you believe and practice it. It says:

> “For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.” – Hebrews 4:12

When you build your life on God’s word, you don’t need to fear what people say or do. Their weapons — lies, gossip, sabotage — will not prosper.

You Are Not Alone

No matter who stands against you, God stands with you. You are never alone in your battle. He sees the intentions of people’s hearts even when you can’t. He fights for you, protects you, and rescues you.

> “They will fight against you but will not overcome you, for I am with you and will rescue you,” declares the Lord. – Jeremiah 1:19

That’s not just encouragement. That’s a promise
