"And blessed is the one who is not offended by me.” (Luke 7:23 ESV). Lord, you are in charge. There is no doubt that you'll get us through the tough times that are coming. Just as you made a way for the children of Israel in the wilderness, you will also make a way for all who stand in faith with you. There is a time coming, a time that is so near, in which the believer will be tried and faced with many afflictions, sufferings, and temptations. However, this will not stop the born again child of God because the Lord is getting the Church ready for the hard times that are coming. He will allow the faithful to face oppositions and afflictions in order to bring maturity and growth to their spirits. In these last days, the Church must be walking, talking, and standing in the faith. This is how we will be able to reach out to those in need. We must come back to our first love and let Christ Jesus raise us up in the faith. When we learn and desire to walk with our Lord, there will be no turning back to that old nature. These are the times that the Church needs to grow in faith. God bless you. Amen
