A Strong Heart

Wait on the Lord; be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart; wait, I say, on the Lord!

~ Psalm 27:14

  "Wait! Wait! Let your waiting be on the Lord! He is worth waiting for. He never disappoints the waiting soul.

  While waiting, keep up your spirits. Expect a great deliverance, and be ready to praise God for it. "He shall strengthen your heart." This goes at once to the place where you need help. If the heart be sound, all the rest of the system will work well. The heart wants calming and cheering, and both of these will come if it be strengthened. A forceful heart rests and rejoices and throbs force into the whole man.

  God is full of strength, and therefore, He can impart it to those who need it. Be brave; for the Lord will impart His strength to you, and you shall be calm in tempest and glad in sorrow.
  Wait on the Lord. I know by long and deep experience that it is good to wait upon the Lord."
