He shall strengthen thine heart: Psalm 27:14 "Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord."
What a promise the Lord gave us! In the Music section of Overcomersonline there is a song: Be of good courage. I would highly recommend it, as well as the other songs on the site, as they are a blessing and encouragement to all.

Seems like all we hear around these days is how the government is rescuing all these corporations, giving us all this stimulus to grow the economy, supposedly all these jobs being created, how we now have someone in the White House who is going to take care of the problems in the Middle East, and an administration that wants people to look to them and depend on them for health care, since the present administration is going to take care of that also.
Lies, all lies. God is in control and is putting things in place for the soon end.

As we see deceptions increase in the churches and fear on all sides, we need only to look to the Lord to strengthen our hearts and give us discernment and wisdom. Our help is in the Lord, not the wicked, corrupt government, not the churches, not even always our brothers and sisters, but in Jesus Christ and the Word of God alone.

Psalm 27:1 "The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?"

The promise is that God will take care of us in what is ahead, but we have our responsibility to prepare.

Ps. 27: 4-5 "One thing have I desired of the Lord, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to inquire in his temple. For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock."

We all know Psalm 91 and am very blessed by the promises in there. verses 14-16 "Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name. He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation."

God will give us strength in the days ahead, an inner strength to stand against all the wiles of the devil and deceivers. A strength to boldly proclaim that Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior, when that will not be a popular place to be. A strength to obey the laws of the land, when others laugh at you for being silly because you go the speed limit, and you don't print personal things at work when after all "everybody does it."
No, it will be an inner strength that only will come by seeking the Lord and his face, by studying the Word of God, and living in all it says. God will keep us in the palm of His hand, and lead us and guide us into all the truth, just as He has promised.
