Wait

I am still confident of this:
I will see the goodness of the LORD
in the land of the living.

Wait for the LORD;
be strong and take heart
and wait for the LORD.

Psalm 27:13-14

These verses are just amazing to me. They are exactly what I have been thinking about lately. Even when things aren't going well, we can lean on the assurance that God will be good to us. We will see God's goodness in "the land of the living," in the place that we are right now. This verse just reminds us that, though we may not always pay attention to it, God's goodness is all around us. Look outside and you will automatically see beautiful creations that God has created for us to enjoy. Look at the people that are around us, the people that you love and admire, and you will see God's goodness. Look at His Word and you will see how God has been good to us. Everywhere you look, God will be showing His goodness to us. If you cannot find God's goodness where you are looking, you are either hanging out in places where you shouldn't be, or you are not looking at the right things and maybe even not looking at all. Even if something seems hard and maybe even a little stressful, do not give up. Instead, wait for God and He will help you through anything that you may face. Don't do something because you "feel like that is what you are supposed to do." Do not do something because YOU think it is the right thing to do. Do things because God says that is what you need to do, and you will never lose. You will never be disappointed that you followed God's instructions.
