Never Lose Hope

“ 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) “Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, and whose hope is the LORD. (Jeremiah 17:7 NKJV) In the day of despair, gloom, and doom, keep your hope in Yahweh alive and active. As for me, I will hope continually, and will praise Him yet more and more. (See Psalms 71:14 NKJV) “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)  The LORD God of Heaven’s Armies is entirely faithful. And His faithfulness extends to every generation... (See Psalms 89:8 & 119:90 NLT) He watches over His Word to perform it. What He has spoken shall be done. Be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart, all you who hope in the LORD. (Psalms 31:24 NKJV)

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)

Keep on Believing

Jesus: Don’t get lost in despair; believe in God, and keep on believing in Me. — John 14:1 (VOICE) I would have despaired unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living. (Psalm 27:13 NASB) Don’t let your faith grow weak and cause you to waver and wander away from our heavenly Father. for we walk by faith, not by sight [living our lives in a manner consistent with our confident belief in God’s promises] (2 Corinthians 5:7 AMP) So God has given us two unchanging things: His promise and His oath. These prove that it is impossible for God to lie. As a result, we who come to God for refuge might be encouraged to seize that hope that is set before us. That hope is real and true, an anchor to steady our restless souls… — Hebrews 6:18-19a (VOICE)

Lift Up Your Eyes

I would have despaired unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living. Wait for the LORD; Be strong and let your heart take courage; Yes, wait for the LORD. — Psalm 27:13-14 (NASB) If you are in despair, chances are you have been focusing on the problem rather than His Presence, or fretting about your future. When we fix our eyes on Jesus, we know that we are more than conquerors. When we lift up our eyes to the hills— from whence comes our help, we are above the circumstances and not underneath. 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! (Psalm 27:14 TPT) Trust in Him at all times, you people; Pour out your heart before Him; God is a refuge for us. Selah (Psalm 62:8 NKJV)

Medicine is good for you, but it may not taste good when its being swallowed. Similarly, every situation we encounter in life may not seem good at the moment, but He will work it  all together for good. I have heard that, God is more interested in our condition than our comfort. No matter what you're going through, just believe that you will see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living. (Psalm 27:13)

Be confident that you will see the goodness of the LORD, here in the land of the living. Instead of worrying about how the situation will be resolved or when it will come to an end, take comfort in knowing that God will work it all together for good. You may not know how and when, but you do know WHO . God has already made a way for you. Keep your eyes on Him and He will lead  you through.

His mercies for us are brand new every morning. (Lamentations 3:23). They never cease. We have forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace (Ephesians 1:7). He suffers long with us. Just as parents hurt when their children go down the wrong path, God wants what is best for His children and it hurts His heart to see us choose the wrong path, but He is patient with us. And He waits with His arms open wide. He waits for us to turn and come back to Him and take the path He has for us, so He can lead us to still waters and green pastures. Oh, give thanks to the LORD, for He is good! (1 Chronicles 16:34a). The LORD abounds in goodness. Psalm 27:13 promises that we will see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.
