"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  NKJV

Oftentimes, it is so difficult to go to strange places without someone else beside us. Sometimes the places we have to go are places we don't really want to go, but must. At times like this, it is so comforting to be accompanied. When someone is beside us, it makes the whole thing more accomplishable. At times we may have no one to go with us, but stop and think; God says, 'I will never leave you nor forsake you.' (Hebrews 13:5.)
His goodness pours out towards us and gives us the strength to do whatever we have to.

King David was in a difficult position. Wickedness coming against him and an army encamping around him. But he wasn't afraid. He knew that the same God who had helped and rescued him in the past, would be there for him in the future. The troubles of today would strengthen him for the troubles of tomorrow. And it's the same for each one of us.

Things may be piling up around us trying to drag us down to a place where we feel like giving up. Look at what David said, 'I would have lost heart, unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.' David wasn't talking about when he got to Heaven, but now! God is with us, everywhere we look. He'll never leave us. There's no need to 'Lose heart' (give up or faint). No, it's time to look up, get up and allow the King of kings to help you through whatever you are facing - in the land of the living.

Today, is all we have. Tomorrow may not come for some people. So we need to grab hold of what we have - today, and move forward. Do what we need to do, knowing that whatever that is, God is right beside us, helping us, encouraging us and loving us through it all.
