Psalms 27:14. Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart:
Here is a man of God giving us the benefit of his own experience; he waited upon God, and now he bids us do the same, that we may be blessed as he was. At our prayer-meeting before we came in here, one dear friend thanked the Lord that, for more than sixty years, he had been enabled to rest upon the divine promises, and he had never found one of them to fail in the hour of need. These testimonies are very precious. I recollect, in my early Christian days, how my soul was greatly sustained by hearing a blind man say that he had lived on God by faith for more than sixty years, and he had found the Lord faithful to his promises all that time. Those of you:, dear friends, who are younger than others of us, may be comforted by the experience of your seniors; but if we were to live to be ten times as old as Methuselah, we should never find God backward in keeping his promises: he must be true whatever happens.
Psalms 27:14. Wait, I say, on the LORD.
Now let us read just a few verses to remind us of our union with our suffering Lord.
This exposition consisted of readings from Psalms 27 and Romans 8:14-17.
