To Do: Look Back
We’re always rushing, always running. If the door is open we go through it. Close it and don’t look back. But if we are going to see God’s goodness, sometimes you have to look back.
You have to look back and remember what He has done. Look back and see the prayers He answered. Look back and see the storms He calmed. Look back and see Him beside you when you were in the flood.
When you do this, you will realise there are so many reasons you have to be hopeful, positive and confident that you will see His goodness again.
Bible Verse: Psalm 27:13 (NKJV)
I would have lost heart, unless I had believed
That I would see the goodness of the Lord
In the land of the living.
Situations arise all the time that will make us lose heart. But as Christians we can be confident, like David was, that we will see the goodness of the Lord. Here, in the land of the living. It is simply up to us to believe that we will.
Remain positive that we will.
And keep praising the Lord until we do.
May you be reminded to look out for God’s goodness as you ponder over this verse.
