Good morning my friends
As I lay in my bed God stirred these words in my heart of seeing his goodness in the land of the living and as I began to look up those verses - I concluded this is such a Psalm of encouragement for these troubling times.
Psalm 27
1The Lord is my light and my salvation;Whom shall I fear?The Lord is the strength of my life;Of whom shall I be afraid?2 When the wicked came against meTo eat[a] up my flesh,My enemies and foes,They stumbled and fell.3 Though an army may encamp against me,My heart shall not fear;Though war may rise against me,In this I will be confident.
4 One thing I have desired of the Lord,That will I seek:That I may dwell in the house of the LordAll the days of my life,To behold the [b]beauty of the Lord,And to inquire in His temple.5 For in the time of troubleHe shall hide me in His pavilion;In the secret place of His tabernacleHe shall hide me;He shall set me high upon a rock.
6 And now my head shall be [c]lifted up above my enemies all around me;Therefore I will offer sacrifices of [d]joy in His tabernacle;I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the Lord.
7 Hear, O Lord, when I cry with my voice!Have mercy also upon me, and answer me.8 When You said, “Seek My face,”My heart said to You, “Your face, Lord, I will seek.”9 Do not hide Your face from me;Do not turn Your servant away in anger;You have been my help;Do not leave me nor forsake me,O God of my salvation.10 When my father and my mother forsake me,Then the Lord will take care of me.
11 Teach me Your way, O Lord,And lead me in a smooth path, because of my enemies.12 Do not deliver me to the will of my adversaries;For false witnesses have risen against me,And such as breathe out violence.13 I would have lost heart, unless I had believed That I would see the goodness of the LordIn the land of the living.
14 Wait[e] on the Lord;Be of good courage,And He shall strengthen your heart;Wait, I say, on the Lord!
Dear friends
May we not loose heart
Let us encourage ourselves in the Lord and be confident that we will have a testimony for every test we walk through
Are you confident that in any situation you face - YOU WILL SEE THE GOODNESS OF THE LORD IN THE LAND OF THE LIVING?
Amen
Many think Pastor J, doesn’t understand my troubles, boy have I had troubles in my life. Boy do I have troubles in this life - 3 things are of urgency, there is an ongoing situation in my family, that would cause any normal person such deep grief. I am waiting on a particular healing and yesterday one of my fridges broke. I refuse to lament - I have proved God so many times, I am confident he will turn these things around.
Just to let you know - I went to the fridge and spoke to it in the name of Jesus ....you may laugh but I do it all the time and God gives me miracles. I am confident that if God doesn't fix it, he will either send someone to fix it or give me a new fridge.
I am confident I will have a testimony/testimonies for all the above because I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.
Let us not loose heart, let us cast away doubt, fear and unbelief as WE WILL see the goodness of the Lord in (this) land of the living
Amen
Continue to praise God while you wait cast away lamenting and the heavy garment in Jesus name
Amen
