I believe that I shall look upon the goodness of the Lord
in the land of the living!
Psalm 27:13 (ESV)

Never do I try to explain why bad things happen to good people. God is God and we cannot argue with His power, His authority, and His goodness. Painful circumstances can break our resolve to have faith in God, break our spirit of hope, and break our courage to continue on. But it’s in painful circumstances that we can grow to depend on Him to hold us together.

He forms us into His image of perseverance. United with His strength, we become unbroken. In our flesh, we are weak. But in His immensity, God is strong. He bolsters us up when, in our frail faith, we lean on Him. It’s that resolved spirit that shines through you when He brings you to your next steps with vigor and life. Just hold fast to the exhortation in Isaiah 41:10, “… fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” Isaiah tells us not to recoil in fear when life gets at you.

Let us trust and stand firm!

~Kit
