I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living. “Psalms 27:13‘

In this verse, we are reminded that human experience often bears witness to a difficult process of resonating what we know in our minds with our fears and emotions. Despite uncertainty, faith is a trust in God based on what we know about Him. In his prayer for rescue, David opened his heart to God. Despite danger, David trusted the Lord, and placed his trust in His victory over the enemy.

Faith is the ability to believe in the reality of the promises of God. These promises cannot yet be perceived with our physical senses, but can be discerned with the light of faith. It was this characteristic of David that delighted the Lord. The story of David demonstrates once again that he was a man after God’s own heart. He expected God to provide all of his needs in accordance with His riches in glory.

Like David, we can also receive  great hope in the God of our salvation, and we will also be pleased by Him when we unreservedly rely on His marvelous righteous Word. As David did, we can rely on God’s promise to be kept, regardless of how bleak our circumstances may appear. As David did, we can anticipate a bright future as Jesus promises to take us home.

Let us pray:

Dear Lord, almighty Heavenly Father, Your faithfulness to all who trust in Your name is amazing. Thank You for David’s example, which reminds me of Your goodness and mercy, as well as the promises You have made in Your truth fulfilling righteous Word. My prayer is to be a person of God’s heart, who maintains the trust in You even in the face of difficult circumstances. Throughout my life, I know that in Your goodness, You will provide and protect me. Thank you dear Lord, almighty Heavenly Father. I pray this throughout the mighty, glorious, fulfilling name, of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Much LoVe, JoY, Peace and Blessings in Jesus Christ, our almighty, wonderful, infinite loving, glorious dear Lord, Saviour and Redeemer.
