Psa31:24 Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the LORD.
The psalmist encourages us to keep up our spirits and let no fearful thoughts blanch our cheeks.
Fear weakens, courage strengthens.
Victory waits upon the banners of the brave.
So far from leaving us, the Lord will draw very near to us in our adversity, and put his own power into us. (Treasury of David commentary).
Patience is the fruit that is produced when hope is tested and proven.
Today, we are tempted to give up hope, resign to fate as the pressures of our surrounding circumstances bombard us from every side.The scenario may be different today but the psalmist went through similar times of stress and despair in his days.
When he would ask his own soul, as recorded in Psa 42:5-6 “Why are you downcast,O my soul? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God,for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God”.
Let us put our hope in God and praise him ,for he is faithful to strengthen our hearts and we will come out victorious.
