Memory Monday – Week 78

I’m back! I wasn’t gone long and it was a much needed break, but it’s good to be back! I certainly missed all the interaction with my friends and fellow bloggers!

Today I’m sharing Psalm 27:13 – “I remain confident of this: I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.”

In Psalm 27, David is fleeing from those who want to kill him. It is amazing that despite his circumstances he remained confident. He didn’t stumble or fall, but he was 100% certain that He would see the goodness of the Lord.

How many times do we just throw our hands up and decide that when we get to heaven, life will be better? While that remains very true, heaven is a place with no sin, no heartache, no sickness and no brokenness, it doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t look for God’s goodness while we are here on earth.

What are you putting your confidence in? Do you believe you will see God’s goodness here on earth? It’s by no accident that the verses after Psalm 27:13 tell us to be strong, take heart, and wait for the Lord. Join me in waiting on Him and  believing we will see the goodness of the Lord here and soon! Open your eyes and look at what the Lord is doing all around you! He is good!
