The True Test

Joshua 8:26 (NASB)- For Joshua did not withdraw his hand with which he stretched out the javelin until he had utterly destroyed all the inhabitant of Ai.
~This verse spoke to me as I was going through a tough time. This verse said to me, "Don't give up until the battle is over." The next day I was told an amazing testimony by a tenant of te apartments my family owns. She told me that the year 2011 was her worst year yet. She began to tell me everything that was happening. It was enough to drive anyone mad. But no matter how tough her battle got, she prayed that God would glorify his name and that he would teach her whatever she needed to be taught. She never stopped fighting on her knees. 2012? 2012 has been her answer. It's her new day. God has begun to bless her with tremendous blessings. The Lord began to work in me. He put the questions "What now?" What do we do now that the storm is over? You see, dear Christian, that is the true test. Do you still believe God can do great things after your storm? Do you still get carpet burns on your knees once your battle is done. Do you still long for Gods presence in your life after? You should, dear friends, we should. We need to fight! Fight until the battle is over, fight once the the battle is over, and fight for one another. Love God my friends!
