From Isaiah Chapter 7 verse 9 reads as follows from the NIV version of the Bible
9 The head of Ephraim is Samaria,
and the head of Samaria is only Remaliah's son.
If you do not stand firm in your faith,
you will not stand at all.
This verse from Isaiah alludes to being at the forefront of the situation, maybe the leader, maybe in charge or at the pinnacle in whatever you are dealing with.
Corresponding, it is saying that there is the option of standing firm in the faith, or not standing firm in the faith but by not standing firm in the faith, nothing will stand and nothing will be accomplished so that decision markers are easy enough.
You can step off the stand of faith, but that is stepping off everything that could go well and work out.
There is the idea of standing tall in the faith against all odds. This might be a misread of the presenting reality.
The standing point might be misunderstood as standing on that one lonely patch of faith where just about everything and everywhere else is not at this standing point and is at risk.
But the reality is that the stand of faith can encompass the vast, wonderful and exciting world of faith and its largess is amazing and strong
Just thinking of what you see in terms of landscapes out there, the firmaments of faith could be like traversing some beautiful wooded landscape with nice peaceful scenery and plenty of room and space to hike around
The standing point of faith can be a lot of things, ideas, situations, and possibilities both here and abroad
There is not need to see standing firm in the faith as standing on that thin piece of ice about to break against greater forces out there that are against you
It might be more accurate to see standing firm in the faith as taking the bigger portion of hope and excitement and going with that, and playing the better and really only odds in your ultimate favor.
