The Goodness of the Lord
Tea time with Jesus - conversations while daily living happens. Psalm 27:13-14 - 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. How I can relate to David - despair happens when I look around me and also from what impacts me. Unless I see the Lord and know of His goodness, faithfulness, and love; I would despair. With the Lord and because of Him there is hope. You may in the middle of something hard, something that took you out. Wait on the Lord. Because of Him there is hope that pushes back the despair. Waiting is not passive. It's not doing nothing but it's an expecting, a looking for and looking to while life happens and the silence deafens the ears of our heart. Waiting is looking for Jesus in the very place that we did not expect.
