You WILL Come Through...Promise #2

Isaiah 41:10 says, "Do not fear for I am with you; do not anxiously look
about you, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, surely I will help you,
Surely I will uphold you with My righteous right hand."(KJV)

Panic is a constant companion for those who do not know Jesus. In the early
days of the Great Depression, those who had made money and material things
their God, and finding out that they had lost everything, threw themselves
out of windows and others chose other methods of suicide. How utterly sad.
They had families, children and yet all they could identify with was
personal greed, wealth and status before the world. And as Christians we
know where suicide took them.

As Christians we WILL go through desert times. But if we learn to look at
those desert times as God's boot camp, and look at the wisdom to be gained
at God's hand instead of the personal and temporary crisis, we would always
come out a better and stronger person. Is it fun? NO. Is it necessary?
YES. As parents we are always teaching our children even when they are
grown. It is the same with our Heavenly Father. There is no time in a
human beings life that we stop learning and growing. It makes us stronger
and brings us closer to a personal relationship with the Father.
In Matthew 7:24-27 we learn, "Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine,
and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the
rock: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat
on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock. "But
everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like
a foolish man who built his house on the sand: and the rain descended, the
floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell. And
great was its fall."(KJV) So the next time you enter the desert, remember
your Father in Heaven is with you. He is always with you as Isaiah 41:10
says. Stop panicking and running all over the place like a chicken with
it's head cut off and learn to listen to the Father. You will learn much.
You will come out a much stronger and better person. I didn't say it was
going to be easy, but you will come through....Patti
