"Counselor, Comforter, Keeper"

The LORD is my light and my salvation;
Whom shall I fear?
The LORD is the defense of my life;
Whom shall I dread?
Wait for the LORD;
Be strong and let your heart take courage;
Yes, wait for the LORD.

Ps. 27:1, 14

The LORD'S lovingkindnesses indeed never cease,
For His compassions never fail.
They are new every morning;
Great is Your faithfulness.
"The LORD is my portion," says my soul,
"Therefore I have hope in Him."
The LORD is good to those who wait for Him,
To the person who seeks Him.
It is good that he waits silently
For the salvation of the LORD.

Lam 3:22-26

These words mean so much to me right now. It is evident in so many ways of the spiritual opposition and pressure I am facing - the fight upstream. Yet in the midst of the disappointment, the fear and anxiety, it is good that I wait for the Lord - for His deliverance, for His faithfulness to shine through, for His provision, and for His grace. There is still so much to be done in my life, but He is in the business of making all things new (Rev 21:5), including myself.
