wait on the Lord

you know how you have those days... and then you open yourself up to God at the end of it all, and He sets before you the perfect verses...

"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

how many times do i lose heart? and each & every one of those times - is it not because i lose sight of the goodness of the Lord? wait on the Lord, david says. He will strengthen my heart. how often do i seek to strengthen my heart through other means? i look to my family, to my friends, to my work, to my ministery. but strength for my heart is not in those things.

wait on the Lord. be of good courage. and He shall strengthen your heart.
