We must always remember<br \/>\nthat God is not asleep and that though the night may be dark and full of<br \/>\ntribulations, fears and tears, joy comes in the morning.<\/p>\n<p>We must always remember that sooner or later the darkness will be lifted,<br \/>\nour morning will come, the finger of the Lord will be unleashed, His<br \/>\npurpose will be made manifest, His people will be delivered and His name<br \/>\nshall be glorified.<\/p>\n<p>We must always remember that sooner or later something will give, Herod<br \/>\nwill fall and, once again, we shall marvel at the wisdom and power of our<br \/>\nLord and Defender.<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime we must dig deep and find strength and courage in our<br \/>\nfaith, the power of His word, the justice of our cause and the sincerity<br \/>\nin our unassailable and bold convictions. We must keep hope alive, stand<br \/>\nfirm and always be strong.<\/p>\n<p>It is only a matter of time before we bear witness and\u00a0 testimony to the<br \/>\ngreatest Red sea experience in the history of our nation.
