“The Strengthened Heart”
 

heart strengthened

by Dona Hake

 

I have always heard that if you need someone to help you get something done just ask a busy person.  I love and appreciate the people in my life that are there to help me.  These people are faithful and dependable…they keep their word. Nothing is more disheartening than someone not following through with something.   A faithful friend is a valuable friend.  A friend that can be trusted is such a wonderful possession.  Isn’t it wonderful that we can have a Friend like this in Jesus?  He is faithful and He will always keep His Word.

 Psalm 27:14(KJV)

 “Wait on the Lord: be of good courage,

and He shall

strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord.”

 

When I was pondering this scripture to share today the emphasis I want to make is on three words and they are AND HE SHALL.    The scripture does not say “wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and it is likely he will strengthen your heart.”  Nor did it say “wait on the the Lord: be of good courage and perhaps He will strengthen your heart.”  NO!  it says, “He shall.”  If He said He shall, then He will!

 

Thank God today that all that God promises to do in His Word, He shall do it!  God is good, He is faithful, and He always keeps His Word!  Let us rejoice that we are a people that can live with a strengthened heart as with live in good courage and wait upon Him patiently!
