It is vain for you to rise up early, To sit up late, To eat the bread of sorrows; For so He gives His beloved sleep. ( Psalm 127)

“Seek ye FIRST the Kingdom of God and HIS righteousness and ALL other things will be added unto you”
RESIST DISCOURAGEMENT AND THE DEVIL: ( James 4:7)
“Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you”.
REMEMBER THE LORD’s PROMISES: (Deuteronomy 30:19)
I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, that I have set before you life and
death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live;

they lost their confidence; for they
recognized that this work had been
accomplished with the help of our God.
