More Precious than Pure Gold
Proverbs 24:10
If you faint in the day of adversity, your strength is small.
1 Peter 1:6-7
In this you greatly rejoice, even though now for a little while, if necessary,
you have been distressed by various trials, so that the proof of your faith,
being more precious than gold which is perishable, even though tested by
fire, may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the
revelation of Jesus Christ.
____________________________________________________________ ___________
The test of faith is adversity, for adversity reveals strength. A weak person
pleads adverse conditions in order to quit. The strong will not give up in
adversity, but will patiently endure and persevere, relying on the Lord
alone.
So if you feel like you're in the desert today growing faint, cling to the
Lord! Allow Him to bring you thru this trail. He will bring you thru; your
faith strengthened and proven -- more precious than gold!
____________________________________________________________ ___________
Do not faint
Do not give up, though the battle is great
Do not waver, be strong, hold fast
Treasure the words of His mouth -- more than necessary food.
Trust Him with your whole heart
Acknowledge Him in all your ways
Call on the name of Jesus
Lean on the Lord, trust Him completely, lean not on your own
understanding
He will direct your path --Prov 3:5-6
Hold fast to His path, do not turn to the right or left
Call on the name of Lord and wait for His answer
Wait for the LORD; be strong and take heart
... and wait for the LORD. --Ps 27:4
It's only by leaning completely on Him, hoping in Him
... that you will come up out of the desert --Song 8:5
Then, you will come forth as gold, complete and lacking in nothing
LORD will rise upon you and His glory will appear --Isa 60:2
And you shall be called
'The Holy People, The Redeemed of the LORD';
And you shall be called 'Sought Out, A City Not Forsaken'. --Isa 62:12
A PEOPLE FOR God's OWN POSSESSION, so that you may proclaim the
excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His
marvelous light --1 Pe 2:9
You will shine proclaiming His praise.
Wait for the LORD; be strong and take heart
... and wait for the LORD. --Ps 27:4
Behold He is coming quickly --Rev 22:12
Behold, the Lord GOD comes with might,
... With His arm ruling for Him
... Behold, His reward is with Him
... And His recompense before Him. --Isa 40:10
Hold fast to your hope in Christ Jesus without wavering; for He is faithful
--Heb 10:23
Zechariah 13:9
And I will bring the third part through the fire,
... Refine them as silver is refined, and test them as gold is tested
... They will call on My name, and I will answer them;
... I will say, 'They are My people,' and they will say, 'The LORD is my
God.'
Job 23:10-12
But He knows the way I take; When He has tried me, I shall come forth as
gold. My foot has held fast to His path; I have kept His way and not
turned aside. I have not departed from the command of His lips;
I have treasured the words of His mouth more than my necessary food.
James 1:2-4
Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials,
knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. And let
endurance have its perfect result, so that you may be perfect and
complete, lacking in nothing.

God knows this word is for me. Lately, I am feeling so overwhelmingly fatigued, tired, weary, just barely hanging on. It is like something so strongly weighing on my every emotion, spirit, soul and body..It is unexplainable. God knows he has to renew me, or I just won't be renewed. Thank You Lord for this word...Thank you Karen...
I would have fainted if I had not believed to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living..
