The Courage to Wait
My dear son,
What I want you to know today is my goodness. I want to spend a lifetime with you as you discover what kind of Father I am. When there is waiting to do, stay beside me and tell me how you feel.
Do not put away your hope too quickly, as though the result you see now were the whole story. Waiting takes courage. I value the time you spend living faithfully and looking to me.
Do calmly what is yours to do, and entrust the rest to me. You need not force an answer into existence tonight. Rest your body and heart as my child, relying on my goodness.
With all my love,
Your Father
Psalms 27:13–14
WEB13I am still confident of this: I will see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.
14Wait for the LORD. Be strong, and let your heart take courage. Yes, wait for the LORD.
A short reflection
The psalmist trusts that he will see God's goodness in the land of the living and calls for courage while waiting for God.
