A STRONG HEART
Wait on the LORD; Be of good courage, And He will strengthen your
heart; Wait, I say, on the LORD! Psalm 27:14
Wait! Wait! Let your waiting be on the Lord! He is worth waiting for, and He
never lets down those who wait for Him.
As you wait, keep your spirits up. Expect a great deliverance and be
ready to praise God for it when it comes.
The promise that should lift you up is found in the middle of the verse—“He
shall strengthen your heart.” This promise addresses exactly
where you need help. If your heart is strong, the rest of your being will
work properly.
The
heart needs calming and cheering, and both will come if it’s strengthened. A
strong heart brings rest, joy, and vitality to the whole person.
No one else can reach the secret core of life, the heart, and pour strength
into it, as God can. God is full of strength, so He is able to share it with
those who need it. Be brave! The Lord will strengthen you, and you will find
peace in the storm and joy in the midst of sorrow.
We can say with the psalmist David “Wait, I
say, on the Lord.”
I do indeed say it. My long and deep experience has shown me that it’s good
to wait upon the Lord.
By Charles H. Spurgeon
