Ezekiel 42-43, Isaiah 18, Hebrews 12
What God said to me – It’s easy to feel alone when you are in the midst of a trial or feel like you are under constant attack by the enemy and that no one has ever experienced all that you are having to endure or to feel like there is no way you can make it through. So, what are you to do? How do you continue on and move forward? You start by remembering. Remember all the times I have been faithful to provide and care for you in the past. Look at the stories of Old and New Testament believers who suffered greatly and yet endured and prevailed. Then look to My Son – He endured the horrible circumstance of his betrayal and trial and death on the cross by focusing on the joy His faithfulness would bring. His focus was not on His present suffering and shame, but on the hope and joy that would come as He endured. So, when you are in the midst of suffering and difficulty, look to Me, trusting that while weeping may last for a night, there is joy coming in the morning.
