"And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist." Colossians 1.17
It is painful know of people who, until recently, seemed to be firm in their faith and are now fallen. I was wondering, why Lord? His response was immediate: Those who really are in Jesus do not remain for a time only, but for eternity. Those who were in the faith and have fallen is because they were never in Jesus in the first place. Because neither life, nor death, nor the world, or family problems, or sickness, or disease, or loved ones, that is, nothing in this world has the power to separate those who are in Christ Jesus our Lord.
"Oh, that you had heeded My commandments! Then your peace would have been like a river, and your righteousness like the waves of the sea." Isaiah 48:18
Has the Fast of Daniel been difficult? Yes. Well my dear, the more problems you are facing, the better it is for you. It is a sign that you are closer than you think to receiving the Holy Spirit. Remain firm because that day will be here soon.
The Spirit of God is showing you His ardent desire to bring peace into your life, like a river that never gets tired of flowing. And His righteousness or salvation is like the waves in the ocean, blown by the Wind of the Spirit of God.
"Therefore do not cast away your confidence, which has great reward." Hebrews 10:35
Do not worry whether or not your dreams seem far from becoming real. The important thing is that you remain confident in God's Promises. That kind of faith guarantees achievements. And above all, it keeps your name written in the Book of Life.
