There are many applications to this passage. Some I've heard are: stand when no one else is, trusting God through any persecution, Christ is with you in the fire.
I wanted so badly to bring some new thing to light here. In the stead I will just write what God has put on my heart. It is not always easy to stand.
There was a time not too long ago that I had to stand my ground on an issue. It was almost like what you'd read in foxe's book of martyrs. I was questioned and asked to renounce what I believed.
Threatened with all sorts of punishments (I make it sound harder than it actually was because I'd like to be vague on the circumstances). I was the least questioned and threatened among my friends.
It was a very tough time. I had just discovered that I had anxiety troubles (medical, not just usual fretting) and I did not have medicine for it. Add on top of that all this pressure to change my belief...I honestly thought I was going to loose my mind (this I will not downplay, but I will not go into details)
Through it all Jesus, whether I felt it or not, was there with me. Looking back I could not feel Jesus with me, but l know for sure He was there.
Christ will be with you in all your temptations.
Feare ye not, stand still, and beholde the saluation of the Lord which he will shew to you this day. For the Egyptians, whome ye haue seene this day, ye shall neuer see them again. The Lorde shall fight for you: therefore hold you your peace. Ex xiv.13 K (Geneva Bible) Verse that got me through.
