"It’s a test. Maybe we justly deserve everything that happens. Here, it’s all temporary anyway; Suffering and prospering alike. Now it’s dusty, now it’s cloudy. Then, it settles, and is settled. It’s now clear. Whatever happens, face it with courage, and try hard to stay rooted to He that is good- so when darkness comes, your strength won’t give way. You’ll stand and fight. I think more is headed our way. It’s like a massive ship- I think a lot has already happened and been pre-positioned; the rudder has turned, the ship just hasn’t yet come around. How will you act when the weapon of fear is wielded against you- again? And if/when it becomes physical? It’s all a test."
