Rely on the LORD! Be strong and confident! Rely on the LORD!
Psalm 27:14 (NET) a psalm of David
Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord. (NIV)
Psalm 27:14 (NIV)
Being patient and waiting are not favorite pastimes of mine. However, in troubling times, it is important to be patient and rely on God. Rely means to depend on with full trust or confidence. Life can seem overwhelming, confusing, and frightening, but we can be confident and depend on God. With faith and patient endurance, we wait on the Lord, and He strengthens our hearts and guides us. Yes, as David did, we also can rely on the Lord and be strong and confident!
When you are concerned and overwhelmed, where do you find your strength? Do you rely on the Lord?
Prayer: Our Heavenly Father, we thank you for your blessing and guidance. Help us to grow in faith and learn to rely on You. Teach us to be patient, and strong. Like the flowers of the azalea, rely on You for sunlight, and water, teach us to rely on You and grow in confidence, and strength. In Jesus’ holy name. Amen

Some of my Favorite feelings are the peace of the Lord, security in God’s love, the happiness of singing praise, the warm friendship of friends and family, and joy of nature around me.🌺🌼🌳
A few things that make me happy are children laughing, puppies, flowers, books (of all kinds), clouds in blue skies, and ice cream! 🍦🐶🌸🌺🌼

Waiting is not a favourite of mine too. But it does help us grow in our faith and trust in God. May we rely on Him and wait on Him with patience.

Waiting on the Lord is not always easy, especially during those times when He tells us something in advance and we must wait for the manifestation. But He is faithful. During the waiting we are learning and growing. Thanks Jeanne! 🤗🌸
