Be strong and let your heart take courage,
All you who hope in the Lord.
All you who hope in the Lord.
Psalm 31:24 New American Standard
Bible (NASB)
In this psalm, David bounces
back and forth between asking God for help in his distress and affirming his
faith and trust in God. It seems as if he is continually tempted to despair, to
be discouraged, but every time he returns to God. Whenever he is distracted by
what is going on around him, he refocuses his gaze on the One who is stronger
than his circumstances and more powerful than his enemies. That is where
David’s hope and confidence came from; his faith in the Lord. This verse is the
last in the psalm and aptly summarizes his discourse. Regardless of what is
going on, hope in God. Take courage. Be strong. Trust God to fight your
battles, right your wrongs, and rescue you. Have faith and let Him do what He has
promised! He will never fail, never leave. He is always faithful and
trustworthy. Let that give you courage!
