The fig tree does not bud
olive crop fails
no grapes on the vine
fields produce no food
When anxiety was great within me
believe in Him – rejoice – pray
You are my hiding place for this is God’s will
I will be joyful in God my Savior
Make known to me the path of life
mighty warrior who saves
Delight greatly
Be refreshed
The Lord has done it this very day
the Lord your God is with you
Though you have not seen him give thanks in all circumstances
YOU LOVE HIM!
even though you do not see him BE GLAD!
You are receiving the end result of your faith, the salvation of your souls.
Each of you should give…
in weaknesses
in insults
in hardships
in persecutions
in difficulties
GIVE.
When anxiety was great
believe in him – rejoice for this is God’s will
Not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.
A person finds joy in giving.
