wait.

"I believe that I shall look upon the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living!  Wait for the Lord; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the Lord!"               Psalm 27:13-14

 Wait for the Lord.  How comforting are those four words!  When we trudge through the valley we can wait for the Lord.  When we anxiously look at the future we can wait for the Lord.  When our lives don't go as planned we can wait for the Lord. 

God led me to this verse a few days ago.  When I think of the future, I struggle with anxiety.  I'm tempted to imagine that God doesn't know what's best for me.  I realized that I have been doubting my Heavenly Father's love and care for me.  But I can "wait for the Lord" and "be strong" and "let my heart take courage"!  No matter what season of life I'm walking out, I know that the "goodness of the Lord" is around me. 

One day when we reach our heavenly home we will "look upon the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living!"
