What I know today

Here is what I have read over and over again lately. Not particulary b/c I choose to read/hear this over and over again but because this is where the Lord has me for right now. "Wait for the LORD; be strong and take heart and wait for the LORD."-Psalm 27 (and surrounding passages). Here's the deal, there are days that I do not know how to do this any better than I am. I can not put another foot in front of the other, I raise the white flag, I surrender! I hate reading it and get angry.... I heard someone say this morning "there are no mistakes in the Kingdom"... I am at a good place today but as soon as I heard it I thought "really Lord, no mistakes huh?" So where does that leave me...it leaves me to Wait upon Him, to be strong and courageous and see what the end result will be. I know, I know that He does not make mistakes. The thing that brings me joy is to hope in what is to come, His plan, His answer. To know that someday we will know and there will be SOO many people who have prayed and pleaded on our behalf and thanks will be given to the Lord. So I am supposed to wait, not just one day, not a year but to wake up every day and ask what the Lord has for me that day and learn to be strong in Him. A lot of the times it hits me that everyone has their "something" that they have to continually turn over to the Lord. It's so hard isn't it? So I will put one foot in front of the other and continue to surrender until I can sing the following Psalm:
Psalm 30: Hear, O LORD, and be merciful to me; O LORD, be my help." 11 You turned my wailing into dancing; you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy, 12 that my heart may sing to you and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give you thanks forever.... I can't wait!

Erynn,
Ps 27:14 has long been one of my favorite verses...there was a time in my life when it was all I was hanging on to, too. As time went on, the preceding verse became more of what my heart held on to:
Ps 27:13
"I am still confident of this:
I will see the goodness of the LORD
in the land of the living."

I know that you WILL see the LORD's goodness in the land of the living...and yet today you wait for the Lord. So, be strong and take heart. Love you, friend.
