Scripture: Psalm 27:14
Wait for the Lord; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the Lord!
Thought for the Day: You think you’ve had a bad day, just read Psalm 27. Here is someone who is having all kinds of problems, yet these words of encouragement are a call to trust in the Lord. The Hebrew word we translate, to be strong, conveys an unyielding sturdiness. It could be translated as harden or even obstinate. I like the notion of trusting God’s faithfulness to the point of being obstinate, stubborn and tenacious. When life gets difficult and the future goes from cloudy to black, hopelessness can consume us. In moments like that, we cannot claim to know what the future will hold, but I believe we can be obstinate about our trust in a God who will walk with us into that future no matter how dark it might appear.
Prayer: Let my faith grow with each passing day, O Lord, so I am confident in your boundless love that will not leave me alone. Amen.
