Message for January 17, 2021 from Pastor Shirley

I would have lost heart, unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.  Wait on the Lord; be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart: wait I say on the Lord.   Psalm 27:13-14

    David said, “I would have lost heart (given up, thrown in the towel) but I believed.  Believe – To be firm, stable, established, and fully persuaded.  To believe-“that is to consider trustworthy”.  David was going to  believe to see God’s goodness. 

    With all the unrest in the world we need to know more than ever where our trust lies.  The Psalmist says, “Some trust in chariots, and some in horses; But we will remember the name of the Lord our God”  Psalms 20:7

    Where is your trust in these times we are living.  Let us say, “Behold, God, my salvation! I will trust and not be afraid, for the Lord God is my strength and song; yes, He has become my salvation”.  Isaiah 12:2 

   In that day they will say, “Surely this is our God; we trusted in him, and he saved us.  This is the Lord, we trusted in him.  Let us rejoice and be glad in his salvation.”  Isaiah 25:9
