Dream Again

Arise, shine for your light has come! And the glory of the Lord is risen upon you. For behold the darkness shall cover the earth, and deep darkness the people; but the Lord will arise over you, and His glory will be seen in you. ( Isaiah 60:1,2)

In these times of great turmoil many people are facing dark days of challenging situations, but for faithful believers there is hope in God. It is often through the dark days of trials and afflictions that the light of God's presence can shine into weary souls. With this in mind, it is time to dream again and look forward with expectation for a new season of refreshing from the presence of the Lord. Even-though so many have walked through seasons of broken-ness and discouragement, unfulfilled dreams may have been delayed but not denied. It is time to dream again and move forward into new dimensions of favor and blessings.

Have Faith in God

In these times of so many challenges and changes, there is comfort in knowing that God is our refuge and strength and a constant source of help in times of trouble. With this in mind, it is time to stand strong in faith with expectation that the best is yet to come. Although current realities of struggle and discomfort abound, we have an opportunity to press through the difficulties to witness a greater manifestation of the glory of God. Have faith in God for deliverance; He is still faithful to fulfill every promise; He is the Father of mercies and God of all comfort. ( 2 Cor. 1:3,4)
By faith, we believe that everything is working out for the good of those who love the Lord and are called according to His purpose. (Rom. 8:28) It could be that we have been called into the kingdom for such a time as this.
