They have no joy, no victory. Looking at them, you\u2019d think God had forsaken them years ago. No. He has simply turned them over to their own complaining and murmuring.<\/p>\n<p>Think of the disciples! They were men of power and vision because they knew they were precious to God. Thank God they followed Christ. They stood as green trees in God\u2019s house until their dying days. You also are precious to the Lord, despite your problems and failures. You can be a green tree in God\u2019s house just as the apostles were. Simply stand on what God promises in his Word!
