Staying Focused

Standing in the Gap

"Standing in the gap" means to intervene on behalf of others, often through prayer or at times action, to protect them from harm or to bridge a divide.  The phrase "stand in the gap" originates from the Bible, specifically the Book of Ezekiel [https://www.google.com/search?authuser=1&hl=en-US&sca_esv=91bd149827a5c7e1&cs=0&q=Ezekiel&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjls83iqu-QAxV2k2oFHZGEC88QxccNegQIFRAB]. It refers to a person who acts as an intercessor or mediator to protect others from harm or destruction, either by repairing a literal wall or by making a spiritual defense through prayer. Christians are called to "stand in the gap" for others in their communities and the world by praying, acting, and interceding on their behalf.

Who Do We Trust

In our society today, we are in search of truth. We listen to influencers on the internet, news on many media outlets, politicians making promises and it becomes difficult to find trust through any of these. But there is one place where we can find truth and that is in God's Word. We will find that He is not a distant God because His Spirit indwells all believers and He loves His children.
