2 Samuel 14, Psalms 113, Romans 15

What God said to me – Life is hard no matter who you are so everyone needs encouragement in order to be able to persevere.  One of the reasons I gave My word to My people is so that they might learn from the history of what happened to My people – how I was always faithful – how they persevered – how they were triumphant in the end.  These things were written to instruct you and to encourage you and to give you hope.  In the same way I want you to use the testimony of all the things that have happened to you and how I was sufficient through it all to come along side others who are experiencing sorrow or trials and encourage them and give them hope.  One of the most difficult things about sorrow and trials is feeling like you are suffering alone.  When you come along side such a one and give them encouragement and empathy you help them to persevere by demonstrating My love and presence.

2 Samuel 13, Psalms 112, Romans 14

What God said to me – One of the blessings for My children who have walked with Me for a long time and who truly know Me and My character is that no matter what happens they will never be shaken.  Bad things happen in everyone’s life but to those who know Me well they don’t fear bad news or disasters that happen because they trust Me.  That is what this time does for you – it makes you steadfast and strengthens your heart as you come to know Me intimately.  Deep within your heart and soul you know and believe that “I AM” in control of every detail and everything that happens to you so no matter what happens you can stand firm and without fear.  I’ve told you often and I will say it again that all that comes your way is for your good and My glory.  Trust in that and stand firm.
