Be steadfast

Greetings!

There is a shifting that is going on right now, and I believe it is because God is about to make some changes in the lives of His people. This is not the time to shrink back or give in...we have to be able to give an account of why we believe what we believe, and we have to know that it is going to be different than a lot of folks. But if we stand on the word of God, the word will do the work. We just have to believe that no matter what it may look like all around us...our God is still in control.

It seems like this season has been a rough one for a lot of us, but it's not like we haven't been through rough seasons before. Many of us have been through more than we care to think about. I know that for me, the only thing that has kept me from losing it completely is knowing that God loves me and that everything I have gone through He is working out for my good.

God has a plan to prosper His children and that makes me hopeful. I know that if I keep trusting in Him, if I remain steadfast...He is going to honor that faith. In James 1:12 it says, "Blessed is the man who stays steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him." Don't let anything make you doubt that. Our God is faithful to His word. If He promised it, He has to do it, because He cannot lie.

"I will trust in the Lord with all my heart and lean not unto my own understanding. In all my ways I will acknowledge Him and He will direct my path" (Prov. 3:5-6).

Until next time...

Be blessed
