Sometimes, as you are going on your way, you may run into a boulder in the way--a test that seems insurmountable. At those times, as a righteous child of God, you need to seize and hold on to your road. You should possess what God has already given you, for it is your portion. Now is not the time to change your mode of action, but continue treading the path that is set before you. You should keep your conversation in line with God's word; it will lead and guide you as before. As you continue, you will thresh the harvest promised to you.

Jehovah the Lord has made you pure, bright and sound. You are now uncontaminated, innocent, and holy. God has pronounced you clean. He has given you power and direction for your life, but you must continue to wait on and yield to His will. As you do, you grow stronger and stronger, day by day. The Lord keeps you alert, so that you can courageously face what comes your way. Being steadfast in your mind, you are established and fortified. As you prevail against your enemies, you will constantly see increase.
