Good
morning
The other morning, as I lay awake very early, I was reading in Psalms 27 and ran across these two verses which seemed super appropriate.
Psalms 27:13-14 -- I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord.”
Vs 13 shows hope. The psalmist says that he would have fainted (or in modern terms, fallen to pieces) if he hadn't believed the promises of God. In the same way, we cannot lose sight of the hope we have through Jesus. We must have faith that no matter what comes in the future, that God will strengthen and keep us until He calls us home.
vs 14 encourages us. We have nothing to fear, for with God, there is no such thing as the "unknown ". He knows all, and will guide us step by step. He is able to strengthen our hearts, if we are only patient and wait on Him. If we try to rush into things, without waiting for His guidance, then we will mess things up. The Bible is full of examples of people both rushing and waiting. Care to guess which ones work out better in the end?
I know that I keep encouraging us all to focus on Jesus and to Abide in Him. Truly, I believe, that unless we abide in Him, it is impossible to live the life God has called us to. Only through Him, can we truly live.
May our eyes and hearts be opened to The Holy Spirit today. May we grow in Spirit and in Truth. May the Spirit of God flow through us to accomplish His will today.
