Don't Despair
I would have despaired unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of Yahweh in the land of the living. —Psalms 27:13 (LSB)
Why are you in despair, O my soul? And why have you become disturbed within me? Hope in God, for I shall again praise Him for the help of His presence. (Psalms 42:5 NASB1995) Keep your hope in Yahweh alive and active. In Jeremiah 29:11 (LSB), He says: “For I know the plans that I have for you,’ declares Yahweh, ‘plans for peace and not for calamity, to give you a future and a hope.” Let us draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need. (See Hebrews 4:16) “Here’s what I’ve learned through it all: Don’t give up; don’t be impatient; be entwined as one with the Lord. Be brave and courageous, and never lose hope. Yes, keep on waiting—for he will never disappoint you!” (Psalms 27:14 TPT)
