David said: 'I would have lost heart, unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait on the Lord; be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart' (Psalm 27:13-14 NKJV). "The word 'wait' originates from a Hebrew word used in making rope. Every rope starts as a thread, and every added strand increases its strength". So each time you wait on the Lord, you add another thread to the rope; you become a little stronger and a little more able to cope.
Are you hanging on by a thread? Spend more time with God and watch him turn the thread into a rope. The Bible says, 'You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on you: because he trusts in you' (Isaiah 26:3 NKJV). Whether it's sitting prayerfully in God's presence or actively serving him, you have the assurance that your strength will be renewed.
If you are at the end of your rope today, grab hold of these promises: 'Those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint' (Isaiah 40:31 NKJV). 'As the eyes of servants look to the hand of their masters...so our eyes look to the Lord our God' (Psalm 123:2 NKJV).
As we approach the 2nd half of the year, I pray for you: You will not be ashamed of your hope. And you will yet praise the Lord more and more in Jesus name. Amen
Good Morning, happy Sunday and a wonderful new week ahead.
