I’m not referring to standing up for what you believe. That is it’s own victory for sure. And I applaud those who stand up for what is right.
However, the victory of standing up that I want to recognize today is the victory for those who battle depression and fight the daily battle to get up out of bed in the morning and stand up for the day.
The victory of standing up when you've been suffering from a migraine, chronic pain, or other illness.
The victory of standing up when all you want to do is stay seated on the couch.
The victory of standing up to do something productive when you just want to veg in front of Facebook for another thirty minutes.
The victory of standing up to go get something from the other room after you have become one with the chair.
Standing up may not be a challenge for you. For others, you relate perfectly to the examples listed above.
So, today, please take a moment to celebrate your own or someone else’s victory that may seem insignificant, but IS a powerful victory.
I’ll leave you with a couple more examples:
You may have never been tempted by alcohol, but for a recovering alcoholic, saying no to one glass of wine is a huge victory.
You may not struggle with anger, but a kind word instead of lashing out in reaction to someone else’s harsh word is a huge victory.
What victory can you celebrate today?

II Corinthians 4:5-10
5 For what we preach is not ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus’ sake. 6 For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of God’s glory displayed in the face of Christ.
7 But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. 8 We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; 9 persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. 10 We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body.
