The wind blows to the south and goes around to the north; around and around goes the wind, and on its circuits the wind returns. All streams run to the sea, but the sea is not full; to the place where the streams flow, there they flow again. All things are full of weariness; a man cannot utter it; the eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing. What has been is what will be, and what has been done is what will be done, and there is nothing new under the sun. Ecclesiastes 1:6-9

A great shaking is coming...suddenly, but do not be shaken. You have been warned, prepared for what is to come. The remainder of the year will bring much that will bring opportunities to doubt, cower in fear be anxious or confused. Remember My word: 

Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in Me. In My Father’s house are many rooms. If it were not so, would  I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to Myself, that where I am you may be also. John 14:1-3

We are not called to be brave nor courageous apart from Yeshua or Holy Spirit.  Our hope comes from  the LORD Who made heaven and earth.  Do not expect an easy road, expect burdens, trials, hurt and heartache. The way of the cross is the Via Dolorosa, the way of suffering. 

When Paul and Barnabas had preached the gospel to Derbe and had made many disciples, they returned to Lystra and to Iconium and  to Antioch, strengthening the souls of the disciples, encouraging them to continue in the faith, and saying that through many tribulations we must enter the kingdom of God. And when they had appointed elders for them in every church, with prayer and fasting they committed them to the Lord in whom they had believed. Acts 14:21-23

Via Dolorosa was the road chosen for man in The Garden. We must suffer many hardships to enter the kingdom of God and remember:  Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love Him. Let no one say when He is tempted, “I am being tempted by God,” for God cannot be tempted with evil, and He Himself tempts no one. But each person is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desire. then desire when it has conceived gives birth to sin, and sin when it is fully grown brings forth death.

Do not be deceived, My beloved. Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change. Of his own will he brought us forth by the Woes of Truth.  That we should be a kind of first-fruits of His creatures. James 1:12-18 

Paul overcame, Barnabas overcame, and so can you.
