Confident Courageous Waiting

Psalm 27:1-14 “When the going gets tough, the tough get going.” Many of us have heard this phrase before. And in one way or another, many of us may have even counseled someone along these lines. But while there is a measure of truth in this phrase, what if there is a better path forward when the going gets tough. In a nutshell, this phrase is basically saying—“When life gets hard, the answer is to become stronger.” The subtle implication is that the strength you need is found within you. But along comes Psalm 27 calling us down an entirely different path. Forsake self-confidence and rest in God-confidence. Main Idea—When my confidence is grounded in who the LORD is, I can take courage in my troubles and wait for the LORD to act.
