Psalms 27:13 (NET) Where would I be if I did not believe I would experience the Lord’s favor in the land of the living?
When Kemi graduated from university, her self-confidence was on an all-time low because she believed that no one would want to employ her. She had very poor grades.
During the dark days of her life on campus, she contemplated suicide many times because of her academic failures and the harsh words she heard from her family members, but she held onto a knowing in her spirit from the Lord that she would still experience His goodness in the land of the living. When she was a teenager, The Lord had spoken prophetically to her that she would be a great woman in life. Those prophetic words were what she held onto and still believed her life would still count, in spite of how worthless she was made to feel.
During her youth service year, she spent a great part of the time praying and seeking the face of the Lord– He was her only hope in this life. Unlike others, she couldn’t trust in the strength of her degree but only in the Lord. From spending time with the Lord she built up her confidence and boldness. She now realized that contrary to many voices she had heard before, she was not a failure. From that time, learned to trust in the Lord and depend on Him for direction.
She faced life with that confidence and doors that didn’t open for the most brilliant people opened for her. Six years after she graduated, she was now a celebrated entrepreneur with many graduates as her employees.
If you are a child of God, then know that God’s plans for you are plans of good and not of evil, and as you abide in Him, you will see these plans come to fruition if you faint not (Gal 6:9, Jer 29:11).
God’s word to someone today is that you will soon see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Things will not always continue the way they have been but you will see good things from the Lord that will make you glad and rejoice. The Lord will prepare a table before you in the presence of your enemies, and you will experience an overflow of His blessings in every area of your life.
Go into today knowing that God who saved David from the jaws of death and made him king over Israel is the same God you worship. He will bring you into the greater days of your life as you continue to rely on Him in confidence (see Psa 27:13-14).
Prayer: Thank God because He is the one who lifts you up in His time. Thank Him because you know that when He blesses, no curse can linger.
— Abraham Damilola Arigi
