The world is coming into a time where many may face hardship. None of us really knows how difficult it will be, or how long it will last. We know that tough times are nothing new. And as God's people, we may very well bear the brunt of persecution and affliction in the coming days.
So here is a word to contemplate, to hold fast to, to stand upon:
"Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD,
And whose hope is the LORD.
For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters,
Which spreads out its roots by the river,
And will not fear when heat comes;
But its leaf will be green,
And will not be anxious in the year of drought,
Nor will cease from yielding fruit."
-- Jeremiah 17:7-8 (NKJV)
The Bible describes droughts that devastated the land, lasting many years. Yet, no matter what, we can trust in the LORD to be faithful and to sustain us.
Be encouraged, Jose
