I would have despaired unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the Lord.
Isn't that a beautiful statement? The word "unless" is such a strong direction change in the heart of the speaker here. "I would have despaired"......so many of us have felt despair in so many circumstances. We ache over things we long for. We fervently pray for the needs of others and ourselves. We wait. And sometimes we feel like we will wait forever.
We wait for finances to come, we wait for job opportunities, we wait for healing, we wait for salvation of loved ones, we wait for children. We all have something.
So be encouraged because the Lord is good. Do not despair. Believe that you WILL see the goodness of the Lord. If you believe it, you will see it.
