                     This is Your Day to Stand

My dear Child, I have heard you asking in your heart "Why have You allowed
all these apparently terrible things to happen in my life, I just don't
understand it?" Though you may not understand it right now, just like My
servant Joseph I have been creating things in you through the experiences
you have endured so that you could fulfill the calling I have placed upon
your life. Though you do not understand now what I have done, you will
fully understand later on why this was all so necessary.

Will you continue to trust Me now even though you do not understand what I
have allowed to happen in your life? Will you continue to look and to wait
upon Me for fresh direction even though you cannot see a path in front of
you to take right now? I have not forgotten you and I will be just as
faithful as I have always been to lead you forward when the time is just
right. I am looking at My watch right now for exactly the right time to send
you forward, and that time is nearly here even now.

Do not give up your hope or trust in Me in this day of strange testing.  I
know you are weary and confused right now, but this is a time to draw closer
to Me, not to draw away from Me in distrust. Remember all the good things
that I have done for you in the past and how I have always been faithful
to you even when you were not so faithful to Me. Would I abandon you now in
your day of greatest need?  No, of course not. I am with you, My precious
one, and I will indeed fulfill all the words I have spoken concerning you.
The vision I have given you for your life is indeed real, and I will help
you to stand in it this very day. This is your day of joy not doubt, so
stand up I say!
