Bible Verse of The Day – 11-11-22

Psalm 27:13-14 (NKJV) 13 I would have lost heart, unless I had believed That I would see the goodness of the Lord In the land of the living.

This verse has recently become more and more meaningful to me.

Why?

Because as we have all faced increasing amounts of evil in our everyday lives, it has magnified the goodness of God in everything that I see.

That may seem counterintuitive, so let me explain.

In the natural, seeing such an explosion of evil at play would normally cause me to become really irritated at the huge amount of injustice we’re seeing.

And it does, in the natural realm.

But as God has taught me and helped me to mature spiritually, the massive presence of evil has caused His goodness to be magnified, giving me a stronger appreciation for who He is.

No, that doesn’t remove the evil presence, and it doesn’t undo what the evil is doing.

But it causes me to change my perspective and stop focusing on the evil, focusing instead on Him and His goodness.

And with that comes a greater joy and a stronger peace that only He can give.

We encourage you to let God do the same for you, giving you peace amid the turmoil that surrounds us, even as the fires of evil rage.
