Despair Costs Too Much

This is a dry spell. There’s no evidence for the fleshly mind to see. That’s the test. God is hoping you’ll cling to Him and know that He will never abandon you.

Though the fig tree may not blossom,
Nor fruit be on the vines;
Though the labor of the olive may fail,
And the fields yield no food;
Though the flock may be cut off from the fold,
And there be no herd in the stalls —
Yet I will rejoice in the Lord,
I will joy in the God of my salvation.
The Lord God is my strength;
He will make my feet like deer’s feet,
And He will make me walk on my high hills. (Habakkuk 3:17-19)

Here is a word of encouragement: We will see tribulation and turmoil here in the USA. It will come soon. But whenever God unleashes His wrath like that, He always grants at the same time greater miracles into the hands of His people. It’s all the same fruit, growing on the same power. His wrath is a two-edged sword that cuts out sin, and His people rejoice while the world groans.

I made it a prayer request that we ask God to release signs and wonders in our covenant community. That was so that you would have an expectation for what God always does. In times of distress, His power is greatest. We have to shake off the fleshly comforts to have room in our lives for His miracles.

Don’t despair. It’s a waste of time, and time is short right now.
