Those who wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength

Blessed be the name of Jesus for all his goodness and for all his mercies that was able to keep me. I am grateful for his grace, for his love, and for his longs suffering. I know it is Jesus who keep me from falling for I was passing through a tough path. I know I have no righteousness of my own that would enables me to stand before him. I know I have nothing that could be counted as riotousness before him, except his great mercy. I know it is only his mercy that enables me to come before his repentance.

Therefore, I am grateful to Jesus, and his wonderful work on the cross. I thank him for life, and I thank him for the hope he has given me, and I thank him for providing all that I need in this day and in this life. I know the only thing that makes me to go through some tough roads is the hope that I have in Jesus. I know I have hope in him because I could recall this in to my mind therefore I hope.

When I think of hope in a hopeless moment there is one scripture and one man could come to my mind. The story of the man that God closed his ears toward his prayer and situation. There is one inspiring things he said after he realised he has hope. He said, “This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope. It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness. The Lord is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him. The Lord is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him. It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the Lord. “Lamentations 3: 21-26. Praise God for his word. Praise for his faithfulness and for his mercies. The last part was very encouraging for he said it is good for a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salivation of the lord. Praise God for his word, I am encouraged by his word. I am encouraged to hope in the lord Jesus, not only to hope in him, but to wait up on him patiently until he brings salivation to my soul.

The fact and the matter is this journey sometimes would get tough. There are times I feel my soul is passing through the water, it feels like sometimes I am passing through the fire where my soul would thirsty after the presence of the lord. There are times where I could feel the sun is too strong to walk without the shade. It feels sometimes my soul hungry of the lord and his word to survive, there would be time my soul would be thirsty as the deer searching for water. I think it is David who describe his desperate situation that he was seeking for the grace of God. He said,” As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God. My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God? My tears have been my meat day and night, while they continually say unto me, where is thy God? When I remember these things, I pour out my soul in me: for I had gone with the multitude, I went with them to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, with a multitude that kept holyday.” Psalms 42: 1-4. Praise Jesus for his goodness and for all that he has inn his word. I was so encouraged by his word to keep hoping to see the glory of the lord. I know Jesus is a faithful God. He is faithful to fulfill all what he promised he would do for it was written that he gives you the promises is faithful, Praise God. The only requirement from us is to wait on him, to wait up on the Lord for it was written those who wait upon the lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. Bless the name of Jesus for his words, Amen!
