Isaiah 43:1-3 Now this is what the LORD says… Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name; you are Mine! When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; & when you go through the rivers, they will not overwhelm you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be scorched, & the flames will not set you ablaze. For I am the LORD your God,… Deut 31:8 The LORD Himself goes before you; He will be with you. He will never leave you or forsake you. Do not be afraid or discouraged. 1Peter 4:12-13Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery trial that has come upon you, as though something strange were happening to you. BUT REJOICE that you share in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed at the revelation of His glory! — Out of all the scriptures, the hardest thing is to BUT REJOICE in the midst of our trials! How? Focus on the good & not the bad! Laughter is the best medicine, so find something to laugh about! Remember we are here for His purpose, not ours! We need to exercise our Faith! Faith is like a muscle, we build it when we use it! Find that place of complete & total trust in God! Then celebrate Him! Worship is our way to peace in the middle of the storm! We can walk on water when we stay focused on Jesus! Love Mel
