Psalm 27:14 Wait for the LORD; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the LORD!.
Today, if you are struggling, I want to encourage you to be obedient to the word of God by waiting on Him and taking courage in the Lord and not been discourage but be strong knowing that the Lord at the end will bring about a victory for you as a believer. Not only bring victory, but if you, as a believer, are obedient, victory is even already obtained.
As you go through your own struggles, let encouragement fill you instead of discouragement. Let boldness and strength replace timidity, knowing that Jesus Christ, the faithful one, will surely bring victory to those who trust in Him.
