I believe that I shall see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the Lord! Psalm 27:13-14 (NRSV) In this text we are encouraged to maintain our hope and wait on the Lord, no matter what is going on in our lives and around the world. Be still and don’t allow your faith to waiver. Remain in Him and trust Him to rescue and restore you. Hang in there and don’t give up. Expect God to show up. Anticipate His intervention and interruption of the plans of the enemy. Believe that He is still on the throne, no matter what you hear and see. God will show Himself to be mighty and strong. He has done it before and He will do it again. Don’t allow yourself to be consumed with worry, fret or fear. Be bold, fearless and courageous. You will see His goodness in the land of the living.

Then Jesus summoned his twelve disciples and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to cure every disease and every sickness. Matt. 10:1 (NRSV) As the Lord called on His disciples then, He is calling all His followers now to operate in the authority that has been given to us. We are needed to intercede on the behalf of those who are in spiritual and physical crises. Be an encouragement and do all that you can to meet the needs of others. Be used as an instrument of God’s love and mercy. Remain on call 24 hours a day and pray without ceasing. Be the light in the midst of darkness. Support those that are broken and uplift those who are discouraged. Pray for those who are grieving. Ask God to comfort them and mend their hearts. Be optimistic and speak hope and healing into the atmosphere. We have been summoned and infused with power. Put on your full armor and report for active duty. ADaubon
