I will walk every day trusting in the Lord, because He is my helper, who keeps me in my entrance and in my exit. God is the one who will sustain us in the most difficult moments of our lives.
“He is my light and my salvation and I have nothing to fear” said the Psalmist David. It is good that we understand that God is with us as a mighty giant, He is the one who sustains the afflicted of heart. God is the one who gives us the strength so that we can hope in Him.
I would have lost heart, unless I had believed That I would see the goodness of the Lord In the land of the living.
Psalm 27:13
God is righteous, and has compassion on the afflicted, so we must believe in Him, believe confidently that His goodness and mercy will be with us every day of our lives.
One thing happens and is that when we get closer to Him, the more confidence we will have and we will know of His great truth and power, and we will be patient and wait on Him, because He will be our guide, and His truth will be in our hearts.
The psalmist David, every day he had more and more confidence in the Lord, because he knew that he could trust only in God, because only He could help him, and that if He promised He would fulfill, this was the reason why his trust was placed in the Lord.
Wait on the Lord; Be of good courage, And He shall strengthen your heart; Wait, I say, on the Lord!
Psalm 27:14
It is good that every day we cling to that unshakable faith, that we believe in the Lord no matter the trials, difficulties, afflictions, that come into our lives. God will help us endure all the trials, He will sustain us in bad times, as the Scriptures says in Psalm 23: 1 The Lord is my shepherd; nothing will be missing. We believe in Him and we wait for the Lord, because He will arrive on time.
Walking trusting in the Lord is not simply repeating phrases of encouragement nor pretending that nothing affects us. It is a deep conviction that God governs every aspect of our journey. This trust grows with time, with prayer, and with the certainty that God has been faithful yesterday, is faithful today, and will be faithful tomorrow. Many times we do not understand the situations that arise, but faith is precisely believing when we do not see anything clearly.
There are moments when life feels heavy, when worry or sadness knock at the door of our heart. However, those are the exact moments in which the promises of God become our refuge. He has said that He will never leave us nor forsake us, and that is enough reason to lift our heads and continue forward. Even when circumstances seem contrary, God is still working in silence, preparing the way and strengthening our inner being.
Waiting on the Lord, as David encourages us, is not a passive act. It is an active trust, a firm decision to anchor our heart in God’s perfect will. To wait is to rest in His sovereignty, believing that His time is better than ours. Sometimes we want quick solutions, but God desires deep transformation, and that requires patience, character, and faith.
When we look at the Scriptures, we find countless testimonies of people who trusted in the Lord despite seeing nothing with their natural eyes. Abraham believed against all hope. Joseph trusted God even in the pit and the prison. Daniel prayed even when it endangered his life. What do all these stories have in common? That God never failed them. And that same God is the one who watches over us today.
Therefore, when fear visits your heart, remember that the Lord is your light. When uncertainty surrounds you, remember that He is your salvation. When you feel weak, remember that He strengthens your heart. And when you do not know what to do, remember to wait on Him, because those who trust in the Lord will never be put to shame.
May every step you take be guided by that confidence, knowing that the goodness of the Lord will accompany you all the days of your life. His love sustains you, His mercy covers you, and His presence keeps you firm until His perfect purpose is fulfilled in you.

Wait for the Lord
==============
Those that have received faith to believe in God and feel, each of them, they form a part of his family, trust the Lord as their refuge and fortress. He is their shepherd. Like the psalmist David, they think the Lord is the one who takes care of and defends them.
The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures: he leads me beside the still waters.
He restores my soul: he leads me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. Psalm 23:1-3
Like a shepherd that looks after his flock and watches over it, so is our Lord Jesus for us. We trust him to supply all our earthly needs; we trust that he will lead us in this land we now live in; and he protects us against adversities until the day he wants us to be in his presence.
In spite of the fact that we do not deserve any better treatment
than other people, the Lord has been always our good defender. He has shown his mercy and love to us by his grace.
Surely each of us must have had a number of tests, but he has always come near us when we have been in trouble. He has pardoned our sins and he has made his peace come back again to our soul. He has helped us to go on in the right way for his name’s glory. We can be sure he will not leave us at any time. We have believed in Him because the Father has taken us to his Son so that we could be saved.
Why, oh Lord God, have you blessed me so much? I’m a sinner and you have given me faith to believe and to embrace your Son as my saviour, accepting his work on my behalf. It was only your grace and your free Will that have acted on me since I was a kid. Thank you very much, oh Lord.
May the Lord God be eternally blessed for his love and mercy toward us, poor sinners. Glory, honor and thanksgiving to his sublime name. Amen
