When we encounter God, we naturally want to bow. And it is the right thing to do. We bow before the great God who made all things. He sent his Son, Jesus to save us.

But God wants us to stand before Him. And He wants us to stand against evil.

Daniel encountered God and fell on his face on the ground. A hand touched him and set him trembling on his hands and knees.

He said, “Daniel, you who are highly esteemed, consider carefully the words I am about to speak to you, and stand up, for I have now been sent to you.” And when he said this to me, I stood up trembling.

God made humans to stand on the earth. This is our correct posture. “For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery.”

“Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes.”

We are free people because God has set us free. We stand on earth to represent the Lord in heaven. And we stand against evil with God’s armor.
