COUNTING ON THE LORD

Today's reading: Psalm 128-130

"I am counting on the Lord; yes, I am counting on him. I have put my hope in his word." Psalm 130:5 NLT

Counting on the Lord...

I think I know what that means, it means I know God will.

Is that all?

Let's dig a little deeper into the word used in the original Hebrew writings.

To 'count on the Lord' means to wait on, look for, hope, or expect.

It's multi-faceted.

It requires more than just thinking the Lord will do what He says He will do.

It's building a life upon the trust you have in Him...

It's believing, wholeheartedly, that 'it' will come to pass...

It's eagerly anticipating when He will perform...

It's speaking it in our conversations-not 'if', but 'when'...

It's taking the next step because you know, you know, that He will do His part...

Are you counting on the Lord to that degree?
