Wait on the Lord.
(Psalm 27:14) Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart. Wait, I say on the LORD.
The righteous are bold as a lion. Even if you do not feel that way, remember courage is not the absence of fear. It is the mastery of it. Courage is a mental quality. There are times when you must choose between fear and trust. As you learn to trust God more, He will give you the boldness needed to act.
Tensions are high, feeling frustrated, abandoned, pressed on every side, hemmed in, deserted, cast down, but the things that you perceive as failure are a gift. Your difficulties present the opportunity for the Lord to display His awesome power in your life. Everything seems to be falling apart, but can you say, “Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: the LORD gives, and the LORD takes away but blessed be the name of the LORD (Job 1:21).
When you are afraid, the worst thing you can do is nothing. Just sitting around and hoping for something to happen will leave you paralyzed. Taking a single step forward robs fear of its power. In fact, fear can be a great motivator when it moves you to trust God more and make changes leading to new levels of understanding.
The greatest lesson you can learn is how to endure and survive your tests with sanity. Faith will give you the ability to endure the test of time and the ability to wait on God. Some days, you do not know how you got up or how you made it through, but you find strength in the face of your pain and grief.
Your situation looks dark, but the Lord wants you to know that in the times of crisis, you must not quit, keep running, and the Lord will enable you not to be weary. He will hide you in His pavilion; You will walk through tricky situations and will not faint. Waiting upon the Lord is like resting in Him while He recharges your batteries.
Fear thou not, for I am with thee (Isa 41:10). Take that step of faith and trust God.
Have a blessed day..
In Jesus Name,
AMEN ‼️
