Psalm 27:13
I would have despaired unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the LORD In the land of the living.
I love this verse. It's been made into a song which I can't recall the title but it's something along the line of Faithful God.
When I chanced upon this verse today in the midst of the devotional passage, I'm reminded of the hope that Christians possess that differentiates us from anyone else.
At the moment of salvation, we exchange the new life which Christ brings for the old that we live. In all circumstances, we enter into the realization of life more abundant as we draw upon the never failing grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. What we get is rejoicing for weariness, radiance for dreariness, strength for weakness, triumph through difficulties, and hope for uncertainty.
These past weeks have been trying with frustrating work issues. Honestly, if my eyes sees what is natural and I don't see God in the picture, I would say that work life is really annoyingly sucky and not worth pursuing. But, I'm reminded again that life is worth going through without despair because God is there in the picture and His hope avails inspite of what I perceive.
May you learn to trust this verse that you and I will see the goodness of God in the land which we are living in now.
blessings,
M.
