A SECRET NOT WELL KEPT
READING: PSALM 27:5-14
Because of rejection of godly principles and the resulting moral decline, people are experiencing frightful situations today. Some encounter one horrible hardship after another. As the result, one consequence that occurs is that some lose heart. They become ready to give up. King David states that his situation nearly caused that to happen to him. He wrote that he would have lost heart, the King James Version says he would have fainted, if he had not believed the goodness of God would intervene. David was confident that God would always deliver him and redeem his situation. What secret is there that gave this man so much assurance? Well it isn’t a secret at all. David’s source of overcoming provision is well published and available to anyone who accepts it. People today can also avoid losing heart by using the principled wisdom that helped David. That wisdom is quoted in today’s verse above. The act of assuredly waiting on the Lord is a great and deep well of peace and security. God’s provision, granted according to His timing, provides universal and eternal resolution for every situation. Those who wait on the Lord will not lose heart. That’s a thought – about God’s Word.
