You know that you are undergoing some trying times. However, do not let this discourage you to the point of giving up. These testing times come to you because Adonai has chosen and selected you. He has appointed you to speak for Him and you have joined yourself to Him and His cause. The Lord, however, does require your excellence and so the trying of your faith manifests. Although you are already acceptable to God, He wants to make you fit for the hole He has designed for you alone.

You know that even if there are trials, there are also blessings. As the Lord leads and guides you along a straight and level path, you go forward in happiness and prosperity. If you take an honest look at your life, you discover that God has already relieved you of much of the guilt and pain that you used to carry. As more time passes, you will find that the load you are bearing now will become even lighter.

Adonai is drawing you near to Himself. Because He chose you, you now can approach Him without shame. When you present yourself before Him to bring an offering or to just stand in His presence, you find rest. Soon you have no other wish except to permanently reside with Him. You have found your place in His court and there you remain. You are safe inside His walls and surrounded by His presence.

As you dwell with the Lord, you always have plenty to fill and satisfy you. You have access to every good, fair, and beautiful thing that is on display in His house, for Adonai provides only the best for the members of His family. In His temple you receive the power to endure and to prevail over your enemies; there you become an over-comer. Therefore, whether in His house or in His most Holy Temple, you will be filled with joy and gladness. It pleases the Lord God to see you well and prospering, happy and blessed!
