Psalm 27:7-14

TAKE COURAGE
...be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord. Psalm 27:14, NIV

Sometimes, we are so overwhelmed by situations that we turn to different persons for solution. The psalmist in today's passage encourages us all to turn to God.
David's confidence in the Lord was so strong that he knew that even when forsaken by his parents, he would not be forsaken by God.

How did he know this? He had seen God deliver him from the fang of lions when he was alone in the bush, shepherding. Again, the Lord delivered him from various attacks on his life. So, he was simply counting on God's faithfulness in the past, and that gave him peace in his present situation.

For the psalmist, no matter what he faced, he had the assurance that God's goodness would not fail. You also need to have this kind of confidence. You need to follow the Lord's instruction to you through David. He says, "Wait on the Lord... take courage...because He will surely do you well".

There is no comfort or solution elsewhere but in the Lord. Hold on to Him, He can never fail. Therefore, take courage, His help is on the way.
