Have you ever felt like you've been through the desert or a hard place in your life? When this happensit is so easy to lose your joy, hope and peace. You wonder what's next. I've seen trees in an area where there is so much water their roots don't go very deep.When the rains come and the winds blow they get blown over. But the trees that are in the dry places, their roots have to go deep to get to the water. The positive side is the winds can't tip them over. The same is true with people. When we go through the the hard times, if we allow God to abide in us, our roots (which is having trust in God ) will go deep. It says in James 1:2-3 Brethren count it all joy when you fall into various trials knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience and you will lack nothing.Don't let the hard times steal your joy or your trust in God. Be happy knowing that your roots are going deeper and you will stand in victory no matter what.Lord Bless You Today!
