(Psa 27:13 KJV) I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.
Hope is essential to faith and courage. If we lose hope, our faith and courage will fail, we will faint, give up. The foundation of our hope is our confidence that God is good and that, in time, we will experience His goodness. No matter how difficult the situation we find our self in, we must continue to believe and trust in the goodness of God. God’s goodness is not reserved for the life to come, we will experience His goodness in this life, in the land of the living.
