THOUGHT OF THE DAY
[What, would have become of me] had I
not believed that I would see the Lord’s
goodness in the land of the living!
Wait and hope for and expect the Lord;
be brave and of good courage and let
your heart be stout and enduring.
Yes, wait for and hope for and expect
the Lord.
Psalm 27:13, 14
My heart jumped when I read this scripture in
the morning. As we live this life there needs
to be an expectation!
An expectation that God, the Maker of heaven
and earth and the whole universe will be good to
us.
The world we live in wants us to believe that there
is nothing good in it.
It wants us to live in fear.
It wants us to believe the situation is hopeless,
that life is hopeless!
But it’s not true people!!!!
As believers we have God our Father!
As believers we have a chance, a very good chance!
God has good things in store for us.
God wants us to believe that!
He wants us to expect Him to show up!
If that expectation dies we die!
I don’t know what situation you are facing
today but please hope again. Expect the Lord’s
goodness.
This is what I have been declaring for the past
couple of days:
For You send blessings of good things to meet him;
You set a crown of pure gold on his head.
Psalms 21:3
For You send blessings of good things to meet
me.
You set a crown of pure gold on my head!
What are you saying? What are you expecting?
Today, believe you will see the Lord’s goodness
in the land of the living!
I believe you will see it if you expect it, if you dare
to believe that God is good and He is busy doing good
things for you!
The last part of that scripture says,
Wait and hope for and expect the Lord;
It’s not easy to hope especially when the picture
on the ground looks bleak.
It’s not easy to hope when the bank account is empty.
It’s not easy to hope when things are not working out.
But the key is to believe that you will see the goodness
of God in the land of the living!
In the pain, in poverty, when things seem bleak
and hopeless,
believe you will see the goodness of the Lord!
Amen and AMEN!!!
