God’s word…is a comfort to the one who yields to God’s will

‘God’s word…is a comfort to the one who yields to God’s will. It will be felt as a
threat and a warning to the one who stubbornly resists it.’ (John Watts,
Isaiah 34–66, Waco: Word, 1987, pp. 247)

When the wind blows hard on a tree


"When the wind blows hard on a tree,
the roots stretch and grow the stronger.
Let it be so with us. Let us not be weaklings,
yielding to every wind that blows,
but strong in spirit to resist."
- Amy Carmichael

"The righteous will flourish like a palm tree,
they will grow like a cedar of Lebanon;
planted in the house of the LORD,
they will flourish in the courts of our God."
Psalm 92:12-13

Jehovah always let me keep my calmness
which headwind I also get.
Let the difficulties in my life making me strong.
Lead me not into temptation and give that I do not fall into the trap of this world.
that I can head to the gates with chin up and will be allowed to enter
your courts, giving you glory and praising Your Name.

Humbleness

“[There is] one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for [one] star differeth from [another] star in glory.” (1Co 15:41 Webster)

 “But they held their peace: for by the way they had disputed among themselves, who [should be] the greatest. And he sat down, and called the twelve, and saith to them, If any man desireth to be first, [the same] shall be last of all, and servant of all.” (Mr 9:34-35 Webster)

 “Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves to the elder. Yes, all [of you] be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble. Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:” (1Pe 5:5-6 Webster)

 “Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:” (Php 2:5-7 Webster)

 “Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of [things] in heaven, and [things] on earth, and [things] under the earth;” (Php 2:9-10 Webster)

 “And they that are wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.” (Da 12:3 Webster)
