BENJI Good morning! I’m Benji Riddle – Youth Director at Central United Methodist. The saying goes: Stand for something, or else we will fall for anything. Now this doesn’t mean you go through life growling through gritted teeth and with closed fists, but going about with a boldness, inside and out, that sees a need and fills it. External confidence doesn’t always indicate internal boldness. Some of the strongest people I know have the meekest demeanor. The key is realizing that our strength is greatest when it is rooted in Christ. Ephesians Chapter 3 tells us that it is in Christ Jesus our Lord that we find true boldness and have access to great confidence through our faith in Him. We find our strength in Christ, and when you do summon the courage to stand up to the obstacles in your life, you will surely see that many were not half as strong as you thought they were. Be bold, be strong, for the Lord your God is with you. The Lord is a Strong Tower, the righteous run into it and are saved.
