Are you facing a difficult time right now? Do you feel like you are in the desert, barren and wasteless?

What you need to do is cling to the one who can restore you to a fresh new you. The one who can restore you and strengthen you so you can face your trial without being defeated.

Jeremiah 17:7-8 states:

“But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him. They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit.”

You need to trust God. Look to him to give you answers, to strengthen you. Rely on him to work things out for your good. Despite what you are facing, keep in the word and remain in him and watch how you will become green again, and bear fruit despite the season you are in.

Trials are not meant to destroy you, but to grow you. Use this difficult period to try and understand what God is teaching you. Listen, obey and watch how much fruit you will bear, becoming fresh and green again.

Trust him, obey him, cling to him, bear fruit.
