The joy weapon: Rowing with Jesus through the battles of life

By Drake Hunter | Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice "Row, row, row your boat, gently down the stream…merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, life is but a dream.” Children sing this rhyme with a smile, but adults sing it exhausted because life feels like a battlefield. Bills, relationships, politics, and bodies weaken. Expectations come and go, betrayals and drifting dreams make us row harder and angrier.

When Paul wrote, “after you have done everything, to stand,” he wasn’t calling for passive endurance; he was calling for a posture of steadfast faith, hope, and perseverance— anchored, alert, and armored in Christ. Your faith is the rock on which you stand, unwavering and secure.
