All those days living in the valley, learning to trust the Lord and walk by faith has it's reward!
The Word of God says in,
Hebrews 11:6
And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who seek Him.
I am beginning through Christ to climb up the mountain to the mountain top, at least for a while, to be refreshed... before a new trial comes and new lessons to grow closer to my Lord are learned.
James 1:12
God blesses those who patiently endure testing and temptation. Afterward they will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love Him.
I have just gotten news that a sickness has touched someone I love dearly, the treatment can be debilitating and life changing. I will approach this trial with God's grace, KNOWING that the Lord goes before me and will never leave me or forsake me.
Here are some of the verses I am holding onto, believing and trusting in:
Isaiah 41:10
Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
John 16:33
I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.”
1 Peter 1:7
So that the tested genuineness of your faith—more precious than gold that perishes though it is tested by fire—may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ.
Romans 8:28
And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.
With much love in Christ,
Linda
