Blessings Beloved,
After much supplication in silence throughout my time of recent consecration, my prayer ended with the assurance of God highlighting this Word to me:
“BELIEVE THAT YOU WILL SEE THE GOODNESS OF THE LORD IN THE LAND OF THE LIVING.”
- This was a stirring affirmation of God’s great goodness in the land of the living, as well as the eternal advantages for those that trust in Him.
- This became a refreshing, heavenly hope that ministered to my mind, and revitalized my heart.
Beloved, be encouraged to know that those things dear to your heart that you’ve been carrying in prayer for quite some time; You shall see them manifested through the goodness and grace of God here on earth – not just in heaven!!!
There are many people who believe in fate – whatever will be, will be – but this is not a biblical principle. The Bible says that you have a hand in shaping your own destiny by the choices and decisions you make. You get what you expect to get.
In order to have faith in God, you have to first KNOW what He has promised and then, secondly, you have to BELIEVE that He is faithful to keep His promises.
“I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living”. Psalm 27:13
David said, “What would have become of me had I not believed that I would see the Lord’s goodness in the land of the living!” David knew that if he had given up hope, if he had believed that God had let him down, if he had walked around bemoaning the passing problems of this transitory life – choosing to believe what the devil and his circumstances were telling him, that his life would have been utterly destroyed and he never would have fulfilled the call and the plan of God for his life.
Yes, God had made him a promise, but it was his confidence in God’s Word that brought him out of his difficulties into the blessing.🙌🙌🙌
