I hear the Lord say:
You are struggling with trials so I want to encourage you to stand tall and stay strong like this mighty tree. It overlooks the river, watching the tide ebb and flow. It has seasons of plenty and drought. It withstands stormy gales that lash at its branches. But… because its roots are firmly established, it stands tall and strong. Its leaves change with each season, just as people go through changes and seasons of their lives. Each day, each month, each year, will bring new trials and old trials. Some trials that you thought were behind you. Remember that each morning brings a fresh start and new hope in abiding in Me and thriving with Me. Will you weather the storm with Me? Will you stay grounded in Scripture and in My promises? My armor is at your disposal. Join Me in victory over your trials and doubts. I am ever present; everlasting and ever faithful. Lean on Me. Look for a testimony of praise. The sun is shining beyond the clouds.
Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him. James 1:12 NIV
