Be Strong
(NIV) Psalm27:13 I remain confident of this: I will see the goodness of the LORD
in the land of the living. 14 Wait for the LORD; be strong and take heart and wait for the LORD.
I love the Scriptures encouraging us to “be strong.” Some people have great physical strength. Others have a mental strength enabling them to overcome difficulties, while still others have a moral strength, sometimes called integrity, that protects them from falling into questionable situations.
Personally, my strength comes from the experience of seeing God work time after time.
It is God Who gives me the strength of my convictions, it is the Bible that provides the structure to know who God is, and it is prayer that connects and powers the engine of my life called faith.
So when I am in a season of waiting, I have no need to be anxious because that is when I know that “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me,” and “greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world .” And I know, believe and understand that “tribulation works patience, patience experience, and experience hope.”
May we each, today and everyday, take joy in waiting for the Lord. And may we remain strong. knowing that hope is on the horizon.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen
