Psalm 27:13-14 Yet I am confident I will see the Lord's goodness while I am in the land of the living. Wait patiently for the Lord. Be brave and courageous. Yes, wait patiently for the Lord.
Well we're certainly all still in the land of the living so we can join the Psalmist and be confident we'll see the Lord's goodness to us in the coming days this year. Yes we do have to wait patiently but how we wait is very important.😊
If we wait with a great sense of expectation of good from God then we make His heart glad because we're in faith believing He can do the impossible and that He's the God of more than enough, of exceedingly above all we ask or think. When we look to Him for His favour in our every day lives we're releasing our faith and it's our faith that pleases Him. Isaiah tells us God is looking and longing to be good to us and He's looking to see who is believing Him for it so He can do it.
The lovely thing is, it's got nothing to do with our goodness or performance, it's all based on His grace to us because of Jesus and His finished work at the cross. He doesn't ask us to deserve it or work harder for it, or read our bibles more or anything like that. He just asks us to believe Him for it and receive it by faith, that's how lovely our God is.
So will you join with me and lock our shields of faith together believing we really will see the Lord's goodness to us in our lives, even this week? And let's thank Him for it in advance knowing He's working it all out for our good.
