I would have lost heart, unless I had believed
That I would see the goodness of the LORD
In the land of the living.

Wait on the LORD;
Be of good courage,
And He shall strengthen your heart;
Wait, I say, on the LORD!
Psalm 27:13-14


There are times in our walk of life here when it becomes very evident that without the hope that is found in Christ, we would lose heart. This life is full of trials, troubles, temptations, and turmoil, but we must continue to look to Jesus Messiah, the author and finisher of our faith. When the pain and agony seem too heavy, far more than you can bear, then know this...you can't. You can't bear it, but He can bear it in you. Lay down at His feet and wait on Him. Wait for Him to strengthen your heart to take that next step. It may be all you can do to just put one foot on the floor in the morning, or to move from the couch to the chair. But wait on Him.

It may take time, but His healing will come. His goodness is there, and you will see it. You will see it and will not faint. He shall revive you and give your strength that you never thought you had. His Spirit will lead you into all truth. He is your Shepherd. He is your guide. Listen to Him and follow Him. Wait upon Him.

May we continue to walk and not faint. May we walk this walk of faith. May we allow Him to carry us and hold us and comfort us and teach us and speak to us. He is good to us, and His love endures forever.
