Psalm 27:13 - How to Strengthen Your Faith.

Psalm 27:13 (NASB) I would have despaired 
unless I had believed that I would see the goodness 
of the LORD in the land of the living.  

COMMENTARY PEARL

   Any major crisis in your life has the 
potential to shake your faith. But the opposite can be 
true too. If you let it, your faith can carry you 
through a crisis. 
   King David suffered great loss, including 
the loss of a child. After these crises in his 
life, he wrote in Psalm 27:13, I would have 
despaired unless I had believed that I would see the 
goodness of the LORD in the land of the living 
(NASB). In Davids darkest time, only his belief 
in Gods goodness kept him going.   
   The same can be true for you. Even when 
life feels unbearable, believe that God is good. 
Even when everything is going wrong, believe that 
Gods goodness can pull you through. Believe that 
Gods plan for your life is greater than the 
problem youre going through. 
   How do you get that kind of faith? You 
can get it from Gods Word, and from the 
encouragement of faithful friends. 
   If you know the Bible well, youre 
going to have great faith. If you know the Bible a 
little, youre going to have a little faith. If 
you dont know Bible at all, youre not 
going to have any faith. 
   Did you know there are more than 7,000 
promises made to you in the Bible? But you cant 
claim them if you dont know them. If you want 
to increase your faith so youre able to 
handle the rough winds of life, get to know the 
Bible through study, meditation, and 
memorization. 
   Then, as your faith in Gods goodness 
grows, you can share your faith with your friends 
when they are going through a crisis. Friends 
strengthen their friends faith. [Daily Devotional by
