The Goodness of the Lord

 

Psalm 27:13-14 KJV

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.

The news can be quite depressing and disturbing as it reports on the turbulence in life.  It highlights the sin sick world that we live in, but thanks be to God we do not have to lose hope.  We know that we will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.  

We will see how neighbors come together to rebuild communities.  We will see how God moves mountains to make provisions for the sick and the poor.  How He is there for the needy.  We will see Him comfort us when loved ones are lost.  We will see and feel the balm to our souls.  

We can take heart and be strengthened because our God lives and is mighty. He will not tarry.  He is with us and He is good.  We just have to trust in Him and have hope. We have to believe that His promises are true.  No matter what we are going through God sees, cares, and will fix it.  We will see His goodness.

Lord thank You for being my hope and strength.  Thank you for always being present.  Thank You for never leaving me or forsaking me.  Thank You for being God.  Keep my heart safely in Your hands.  In Jesus name I pray. Amen
