Today, hear the voice of the Good Shepherd reminding you that He loves you; that He doesn’t want you to be afraid; that He wants you to be confident that He is walking with you in the darkest, deepest valleys; and that He will see to it that no weapon formed against you will prosper.

Rejoice in the heat of the trial; be joyful in affliction, because you’re going up after this. God is increasing your capacity so you can handle the greater harvest that’s coming to you. You’re going to the next level!
