”Finding Joy As You Stand”
 
 
by Dona Hake
 
 
 
 
 
As we make the decision to stand strong we will not be moved!    We will not permit what we see or feel  affect us.  Today will be our last day meditating on the power of standing strong in the Lord. I pray that the thoughts and scriptures I have shared with you over the past week have blessed you. Today I leave you with a quote and scripture. God bless you!
 
 
“When we long for life without difficulties, remind us that oaks grow strong in contrary winds and diamonds are made under pressure.”
Peter Marshall
 
 
“Don’t run from tests and hardships, brothers and sisters. As difficult as they are, you will ultimately find joy in them; if you embrace them, your faith will blossom under pressure and teach you true patience as you endure. And true patience brought on by endurance will equip you to complete the long journey and cross the finish line —mature, complete, and wanting nothing.”
James 1:2 -The voice translation
