My house is a living house, and My temple is a living temple not made with hands. (Acts 17:24) But I am making my temple from living stones. (1 Peter 2:4-5) You are like a tree planted by the rivers of water (Psalm 1:3) Your roots will grow and bind together the soil, so that the wind will not blow it away. Your trunk will provide strength and support and your limbs will provide shade and shelter and fruit for others in the family of God—a living tree in a living house.
So I am calling you to be strong in Me. Be strong in the Word and in My promises. Stand firm and you will not be easily shaken or soon disturbed. Dig deep; drink deeply from My Word. Hold fast that which you have, and I will give you a crown of life at My appearing. I will strengthen you, My faithful one, as you shelter others. Strengthen those beside you and lift up your arms to Me in praise with your heart.
Strengthen the hands of the weak, for I have given you strength to strengthen others. I have given you strength that you know not of. I have made you a well of cool water in a dry and thirsty land. I have made you as a rock in the desert, a shade to many. So stay close to Me and I will help you to anchor others in My living temple.
