Waiting - Advent - Day 10/11 - Week 2

So here's our 2 for 1 with me admitting that I'm probably not going to manage the catch-up. :)

Psalm 27:13-14

I am still confident of this: I will see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living. Wait for the LORD ; be strong and take heart and wait for the LORD.

Waiting... waiting... waiting. The psalmist says here that he is confident that he will again see the goodness of the Lord. How can he be so confident? When everything around him seemed to be crumbling in on him how could he take heart? Generations before the Psalmist and many more generations before our times now, God's faithfulness has been on clear display. Not only can we look back over our lives and see God's provision, but we can look over an entire chronicled history of God's care of His children. God never changes.
That means that the God who brought Israel out of Egypt is still working today. The God who saved Daniel from hungry lions still saves us today. The very same God who created this earth, commands it still today. That is who we call Abba, Father. Can we doubt his provision and faithfulness to us today no matter how long we've "waited on Him"?

This whole topic just nails me right where I am today as I pray over some situations that are agonizing. Only God truly knows the outcome.  But look at his track record... and trust Him.

Father,
No matter what is weighing on our hearts tonight, please grant us peace. In a world that is truly the most upside down many of us have ever seen, help us to find rest and margin. May tomorrow bring a light of joy for all my friends reading this tonight. Bring us peace. Bring us peace.
Amen
