I would have lost heart, unless I had believed
That I would see the goodness of the Lord
In the land of the living. Psalm 27:13
Don’t you just love how this verse begins with what would have happened, losing heart if it would not have been for what David believed. How true is that for us as well. What are you believing? Everything you see or hear? Or what you know because God said it? The latter may be difficult because it often means we have to believe in something we can not see. But when we trust in God that He keeps His promises, we can see beyond the natural into the future and His good ness towards us.
David goes one step further beyond imagining what is yet to come, he is literally seeing in his mind the goodness of God in all it’s ways. And that he would live not only to see it but enjoy it here on this earth. Can we see the same thing or do we lose focus on His goodness and it affects the belief in our hearts? Let’s be like David and keep our focus on the Giver of all good things and we will see them in time and enjoy their blessings,
