Psalms 31:24 Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the
LORD.
Good morning dear ones! None of us know what this day will bring forth, but this much we do
know. We can rejoice because our names are written in The Lamb’s Book of Life. Blessed be the
love and grace of God Who has redeemed us by the perfect sacrifice of His Son Jesus Christ.
Our passage of Scripture from Psalms tells us that for those who hope is in The Lord, we can be
of good courage and He will strengthen our hearts. Isn’t that beautiful? The Hebrew word that is
translated hope here means “to wait for.” To wait for The Lord is the same as placing your hope
and trust in The Lord. So as you go about your day today, pray about everything and for
everything. Understand that hoping in The Lord is not sitting in a rocking chair, doing nothing. It
is literally waiting on Him, as a waiter or waitress waits on your table. It is being engaged in
doing God’s will in whatever is placed in front of you today. As we wait on The Lord, our hearts
are strengthened and filled with a holy courage that is rooted in the grace of God and His
unconditional love for us.
Thus today, Psalms 27:14 Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine
heart: wait, I say, on the LORD. Know this, The LORD will give strength unto his people; the
LORD will bless his people with peace. (Psalm 29.11). Psalms 146:5 Happy [is he] that [hath]
the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope [is] in the LORD his God. Hope in God today
beloved.
