Psalm 27:14 (New King James Version)

Wait on the Lord; Be of good courage, And He shall strengthen your heart; Wait, I say, on the Lord!
Verse Thoughts
Patient endurance as we wait for the Lord to work in the difficult circumstances of life, encourages our faith in God to be strengthened. Conversely.. faith is often tested in those long and painful seasons of life when patient endurance is called upon – as we trustingly wait for the Lord to act.. and as we submissively wait on the Lord’s promises to be fulfilled, in prayer and praise and thanksgiving.
We need to confidently wait for the Lord to act on our behalf, knowing that His promises are “yes’ and “amen’ in Christ Jesus, and we need to faithfully wait on the Lord with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, making music to the Lord – in our hearts with thanksgiving and praise.
When we are abiding in Christ our inner heart is empowered and our courage is enlarged. When we are resting in His love our soul is strengthened by the Spirit of the Lord, for His strength is made perfect in our restful weakness.
When we take God at His Word and trust Him unquestioningly.. despite our inner fleshly nature and outer distressing circumstances, which scream at us to do something.. we will be enabled from within to wait on the LORD and be of good courage, for we have been promised that He shall strengthen our heart – WAIT, I say, on the LORD.

Wait on the Lord; Be of good courage, And He shall strengthen your heart; Wait, I say, on the Lord!
This is the hardest thing as a Christian we want him to be there as mankind and guide us as he does in spirit teaching us in person and wanting him here though no one knows his timing or place or when but we all would rather him be here
I once was questioned if you were to sit on a bench with someone who would you want to sit with my answer was in all honesty Jesus If he has so many to write the longest Book and most famous book in history I’d want to know a real human relationship conversation with him and have him teach me so much more though as much as I would want this they do say patience is a virtue though yes even I admit that in itself is hard to do as well though as much as we long for an out of spirit relationship at least we can build and take head in the relationship He does allow us
But I encourage you to stay strong and make yourself even stronger building this relationship for what it is so that when he does come back you will be prepared for that seat on the bench with him it definitely is more productive and prosperous to wait on the Lord he WILL be returning and when he does it will be the best day you will ever have so I deeply encourage you to take hope and courage within yourself to keep knowledge in Psalm 27:14 which urges us to wait for the biggest and best thing that will be in your life Jesus sitting with you on a bench God being with you once and forever it will be nothing like a relationship between you and another who comes and goes he will stay with you throughout everything forever no matter he promises to make life with him eternal life and forever with him so make it be the best and study up in the word of God and know him personally before you get that chance to begin to know him wait and have courage
Psalm 27:14
Wait on the Lord; Be of good courage, And He shall strengthen your heart; Wait, I say, on the Lord!
When Jesus returns He will make all things clear.
“Therefore wait for me,” declares the Lord, “for the day I will stand up to testify” Zephaniah 3:8
My Prayer
Father my prayer today is heart felt in so many ways
First I want to pray for Shane who we almost lost yesterday from a collapsed lung due to Covid and for me as I just returned from a three month hospitalization in both medical and mental hospitals and I don’t want the extra stress to affect me again
I have high hopes that those reading this will remember to wait on you and put their trust fully in you and to have you encourage them through this as I personally know how hard this is myself I pray for each of you that you will begin to practice this and build their relationships and knowledge and learn to wait on you
