Why are you cast down, O my soul? And why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God; For I shall yet praise Him, The help of my countenance and my God.—Psalm 43:5
When my spirit begins to flag and darkness to gain its footing, these words of the Holy Spirit through David hearten and encourage my soul. Truly the LORD will command His lovingkindness in the daytime, and in the night His song shall be with me.
I am so thankful for God’s faithfulness. There has never been a time when I have cried out to my Him and not been comforted. In Him, my consolations abound. His merciful kindness toward me, His child, is from everlasting to everlasting. I am precious in His sight.
Beloved…Allow the light of His countenance to lift your spirit heavenward so you can once again emanate His glorious light toward those around you. The Lord our God gives us strength as we patiently pray through our trials…As we look to Him…as we wait upon Him…as we depend on His all-sufficient grace to meet our every need.
Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.'—Jeremiah 33:3
Concerning this thing I pleaded with the Lord three times that it might depart from me. 9 And He said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness." Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ's sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong.—2 Corinthians 12:8-10
Have you not known?
Have you not heard?
The everlasting God, the LORD,
The Creator of the ends of the earth,
Neither faints nor is weary.
His understanding is unsearchable.
29 He gives power to the weak,
And to those who have no might He increases strength.
30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary,
And the young men shall utterly fall,
31 But those who wait on the LORD
Shall renew their strength;
They shall mount up with wings like eagles,
They shall run and not be weary,
They shall walk and not faint. —Isaiah 40:28-31
