devotional - day 11

Psalms 27:13 I am still confident of this: I will see the goodness of the Lord

Another day of being encouraged about God’s goodness. I have this on a postie near my face on my nightstand so I see it when I go to sleep and I see it when I wake up. This is how tightly I have been known to cling to this verse at times. 

It’s the confident bit that I can struggle with. I know God is capable…but will he? 

Will he answer the prayer? 

Will his goodness arrive in a timely fashion? My experience is - rarely. But I’m incredibly impatient by nature, so it’s something he’s working on with me. 

Will God’s goodness come in a logical package? Also in my experience - probably not. Sometimes it can be very surprising and out of left field - like leading me to Colorado after almost 40 years on the west coast and then 10 years later leading me to Maine - 3200 miles from where I started life.

And there is a promise of God’s goodness I have been waiting over a decade for and I most definitely waiver in the confidence department on this matter, however, I will not give up hope. And this is one of those versus that keeps me going!  May it do so for you today as well!
