Psa 27:13 I would have lost heart, unless I had believed That I would see the goodness of the LORD In the land of the living. Psa 27:14 Wait on the LORD; Be of good courage, And He shall strengthen your heart; Wait, I say, on the LORD!<\/p>\n
We are confronted with circumstances some which we did not have the freedom to choose but which we are forced to confront on a daily basis. These may include but not limited to economic hardship, job loses, sicknesses and diseases, family squabbles, living in a poor environment etc<\/p>\n
One of the greatest temptations in life is to become too absorbed in one’s circumstances. ” Whenever a man\/woman looks merely at his circumstances ,he ends up in despair, disillusionment and cynicism. This always leads to tragic consequences. ( Coretta King collection, folder file194) David would have fainted \/ lost heart unless he had believed that he would see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.<\/p>\n
We need to look beyond our current circumstances by standing firm in our faith and knowing that he will come through for us. If we stand firm, we will definitely see his goodness in our lifetime. Don’t be in a hurry and don’t be impatient; “wait on the Lord, be of good courage and He shall strengthen your heart; wait I say , on the Lord” !<\/p>\n
