Q: What does the Bible say about confidence in God?

The Bible teaches that true confidence comes from recognizing the Lord as our light, salvation, and strength. In Psalm 27, David expresses an unwavering confidence rooted in his relationship with the Lord. He declares, 'The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?' (Psalm 27:1). This confidence is not based on David's righteousness or capabilities, but solely on who the Lord is to him personally. When we understand God as our source of light and salvation, it empowers us to face life's challenges without fear. Our confidence should be placed not in our circumstances but in God's faithfulness and strength.

Q: How do we know our enemies are defeated in Christ?

We know our enemies are defeated because Jesus bore our sins and conquered sin through His death on the cross. David exemplifies confidence despite the presence of his enemies, stating that 'when the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me, they stumbled and fell' (Psalm 27:2). All believers can have assurance that the true enemies of sin and death have been defeated in Christ. Jesus took on our sinfulness and bore it on the cross, overcoming it entirely. By faith in Him, we can remain steadfast, knowing that our struggles are like defeated foes, lacking the power to ultimately harm us. Even though we face trials, our hope is anchored in Christ's victory over sin.

Q: Why is dwelling in the house of the Lord important for Christians?

Dwelling in the house of the Lord symbolizes our desire for a close relationship with God through Christ. In Psalm 27:4, David expresses his longing to 'dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life.' This desire reflects a profound yearning for intimacy with God, indicating that true fulfillment and stability come through our relationship with Him. For Christians, this means our lives should be rooted in Christ, so when God looks at us, all He sees is His perfect Son. This divine connection is essential for spiritual nourishment and guidance, sustaining us through life's trials and leading us to eternal hope and security in Him.

Q: How should Christians respond in times of trouble?

Christians are called to wait on the Lord with courage and faith during times of trouble. David concludes Psalm 27 with an exhortation to 'wait on the Lord; be of good courage, and He shall strengthen thine heart' (Psalm 27:14). This encourages believers to trust in God's timing and sovereignty, especially amid struggles and uncertainties. Waiting on the Lord means looking to Him for strength and guidance, affirming that we do not rely on our abilities. Instead, in faith, we acknowledge that God's grace is sufficient to sustain us. This posture of waiting, coupled with patience, cultivates a deeper reliance on God and fortifies our spirits.

Psalm 27, pick up there in verse 1. David said, The Lord is my light and my salvation, whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life, and of whom shall I be afraid? When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell. Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear. Though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident." He's saying under those circumstances, even in those circumstances, it's not going to shake my confidence. I will be fully confident.

Why? One thing. Have I desired of the Lord, that will I seek after, that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life. to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to inquire in his temple. For in the time of trouble, that's the time of evil, he shall hide me in his pavilion. In the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me. He shall set me upon a rock. And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me. Therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy.

I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the Lord. Hear, O Lord, when I cry with my voice. Have mercy also upon me and answer me. When I'll say to seek ye my face, my heart said unto thee, thy face, Lord, will I seek. Hide not thy face far from me. Put not thy servant away in anger. Thou hast been mine help. Leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation. When my father and my mother forsake me, then the Lord will take me up. Teach me thy way, O Lord, and lead me in a plain path, because mine enemies Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies, for false witnesses are risen up against me.

And such as breathe out cruelty, I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait on the Lord, be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart. Wait, I say, on the Lord. Let's pray. Lord, we come to you this morning in Christ's name, and Lord, we confess that we are completely and utterly dependent upon you to open this word to us, to show us Christ here. Lord, preach the gospel to us. Lord, we beg that you would do all that for us, that you would be our teacher, that you would teach us your way, and you would walk amongst us. And Lord, you would bless us with your word. Forgive us of our many sins for Christ's sake. Be with all your people as they meet here and everywhere today. And we ask these things in Christ's name. Amen. Oh, what confidence. This is a very confident psalm.

This is David speaking, and you can go to other Psalms and you'll find a man who's not so confident. I'd encourage you to go home this afternoon and read the, I think it's five or six verses, that is Psalm 13. It's not very confident at all. It ends well, but David doesn't sound as confident.

But here he's very, very confident. He says, who shall I fear? Though this host shouldn't camp against me, though I'm all alone, I will be completely and utterly confident. It's not going to be shaken at all. Why? It was because he had confidence in himself. I can take on this army, I can do all these things. No, absolutely not.

In fact, David's confidence is relayed in a very interesting way. It's all the way throughout, but I love the way the Lord writes the scripture. He leaves little Easter eggs in there. Look at the first two words of Psalm 27. What do they say? The Lord. Now look at the last two words of verse 14. The Lord. It begins and ends with the Lord.

That's David's confidence. He doesn't have any confidence in himself. He doesn't have any confidence in his own righteousness or his own abilities. He has confidence in one thing. He has confidence in Christ. And this is a very personal confidence. Look at verse one again. The Lord is my light. He's not just any light. He's just not a light that is distant out there. He's my light. He's my salvation. He's the strength of my life.

I love thinking about this. David's going to give us about four different reasons that every believer should have perfect confidence. Just be confident as they could possibly be. And if you're a believer you have these exact same reasons for confidence and it's all found in Christ.

He is your light. He is your salvation. He is the strength of your life. The first one is, this is it, David's confidence rests in the fact of who the Lord was, who the Lord is, but who he was to him particularly. Read verse one again. The Lord is my light and my salvation. Whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life. Of whom shall I be afraid? He says first, the Lord is my light.

What's light good for? You can see. I thought of this scripture, thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path. We have the written word that speaks exclusively of the living word, Christ, exclusively, just about him and about his accomplishments. And by this word, we have light.

You think about this, if you're walking down a dark alleyway and it's the middle of the night and you can't see anything, I'd say we'd all be pretty anxious about that. We don't know the dangers. We don't know what's hidden down there. And you're walking down that alleyway and you'll be somewhat scared and all that until you pull out a flashlight and you shine it down that alleyway and you can see all the way to the end.

You can see that there's no dangers. There's no pitfalls. Everything's fine. By the light of this word declares who the Lord Jesus Christ is and what he has done. We can see all the way to the end. We know how the story ends. Christ is victorious. and He will be victorious. Everybody the Father gave Him in election, He went to that cross for. He bled and He died. They have been saved. They will be saved. Every sinner that is brought to the knowledge of Christ and is caused to look only to Him, they're eternally secure. and they will be eternally secure.

And as we walk through that alleyway, that dark alley, this valley of the shadow of death, we call it in this life, we're gonna have all kinds of trials, and we're gonna have pitfalls, and we're gonna have lonely times, and we're gonna have hard times and lots of failings, and they will all be accompanied by sufficient grace to help in time of need. You understand now why David would say, who shall I fear?

He's my light. He's not on my light. He says, he's my salvation. And I love it that he doesn't qualify that at all. He doesn't say, well, he's a big part of my salvation. He's some of my salvation. No, he says, Jesus Christ, lock, stock, and barrel, alpha and omega from beginning to end, He is my salvation. Everything the Father requires of me, He finds in Jesus Christ. He's taking care of it all. It's all finished.

Now, I remember this place where David said this in Psalm 118.4. He uses a qualifying word. He said, the Lord is my strength and song and is become. become my salvation. That word becoming, you know what that means?

It means exists. And he exists as my salvation. How does he exist? He exists eternally. never had a beginning, never had an end. That means He has always existed as the salvation of His people. Before there was a speck of dust, before there was an atom, before there was carbon, before there was anything, and long before there was a sinner with a sin, He had His people and He stood as the eternal surety and the eternal salvation of those people. He's become, He exists eternally as our salvation. I love eternal things because you can't mess eternal things up. They're eternal. And he says finally this, he's the strength of my life. And you can look at that a couple different ways. Number one, what does God the Father demand? A perfect life, a righteous life, a holy life. And you know what? That's what every believer has in Christ. We have the very life of Christ.

But he's the strength of that life. Now, I lived that life, that perfect life, righteous life that he lived. I lived it in him, but he was the strength of that life. He's the one who did that life. He's the one who walked the paths of righteousness. He's the one that was faithful to his father in all things. He is the strength of that life, and that life really is our life before God. If I have spiritual life, evidenced simply by this, that I look to Christ only, who gave that to you? He did. He is the strength of our life. You didn't come up with that. He gave that to you. And He is the sustaining strength of our life. He makes reference to this. Look across the page there at verse 11.

He says, "'Teach me thy way, O Lord, and lead me in a plain path.'" How do I have to die? I have to die doing exactly what the Lord enabled me to do when He first saved me, looking to Christ alone. That's the path of this life. When He first gave you life, what did you do? You looked to Christ alone. That's what life does. It looks to Christ.

And I have to die in that exact same way, looking to Christ alone. That's a long path. There's a lot of water under the bridge. How are we going to persevere that long? How are we going to make it? Because I'm a wanderer. I'm prone to wander off the path. I'm prone to look to myself. I'm prone to look at what I'm doing, how I'm getting better. I'm prone to look to other people. How are we going to stay there?

He says, just lead me in the plain path. And that path is plain. That path is Christ. me, just be the bumpers on both guardrails of that road, and just bat me back and forth, and be my tailwind and push me forward, and lift up the chin and point me there."

And believer have no fear because He's the strength of your life. He's the one who sustains it. He's the one who lifts up the head. He's the one who leads down the path. And there is no chance you won't die doing the exact same thing you did when He first gave you life, looking to Christ alone. Now, Here's his second confidence. David was confident because all his enemies were defeated. Look at verse two. When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell. This is an illustration.

I love how the Lord wrote the scripture. He wrote this completely and utterly inspired by himself, but he used means. He used men. particular men, in particular generations, with particular experiences, and he used those men to write these scriptures. Every word in here is exactly how God the Father would have it written, inspired by the Holy Spirit, but it was penned by men. Men with different experiences.

And what's David at his heart? Where does he begin? He's a shepherd, He's a warrior. He's killing lions and bears to protect sheep. He's taking the head of giants. Before he was ever a king, he's a warrior. And so he's using this. This is an illustration. This is what he knows.

He says, I've got all these enemies. And he knew what having enemies was like. Men who wanted to kill him, pick apart his bones. I've got all these enemies and they're eating up my flesh. And what he's talking about is his sin. It's the best illustration he could come up with. That's what he knew about it. What can I liken this unto?

It's like an army. It's like an enemy. And it eats up my flesh. That's my enemy. This wicked, sinful flesh. The immorality of it all. My evil. My wanderings. My doubts. My murmurings. And my open rebellion when I don't get what I want. My cold-heartedness. My apathy.

Can you enter into that? It's like a cancer. It just comes up, and it eats up into your flesh, and you feel so faint. Do you ever just want to halt? It's like, I just want to stop. I can't go on any further. Beaten and bruised. This flesh is too much. I can't keep on putting up with this.

And I recognize a lot of times our sin don't bother us, and sometimes it does. And sometimes you sit there, could I possibly be saved this cold-hearted? Could I possibly be saved with this much doubt? And that flesh just eats you up and you're so faint and you just want to halt.

And he talks about that. Look at verse 13. He says, I had fainted. I would have. I had fainted unless I had believed to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Yes, I am beaten and bruised and I want to halt and I'm ready to faint and I am still here. And I'm still doing, by His grace, exactly what I first did when He came to me. I'm looking to Christ alone. And here's my point.

That faith that He gives you and He sustains is the very evidence that all those enemies that seem very, very real to you, these deadly enemies, they're all defeated enemies. They were defeated in the person of Jesus Christ as he bore them in his body on that cross, and they can't do you any harm whatsoever.

Now, as long as we're in this flesh and we're in this world, we're going to quarrel with those enemies. We're going to fight with them. We're going to struggle with them to the day we die. But even they have a purpose. Even they are goodness and mercy. It is to give us nothing to look to for Christ alone. We literally can't lose. And we're going to crawl with them for a little while longer.

But truly, folks, they are defeated enemies, and they are gone. You see why David's so confident? My sins are put away. My enemies are defeated. Everything is working together for my good. Things couldn't possibly get any better. The third point, confidence in one. Look at verse three. David says, though an ho shouldn't camp against me, My heart shall not fear.

The war should rise against me, and this will I be confident." Once again, he's giving an illustration. He's thinking the worst-case scenario. What's the worst thing that could possibly happen? I'm in the middle of a battlefield, and there's an entire army around me that wants to come down and consume me, and I'm all alone. This is a worst-case scenario.

I can't think of anything worse, and he's talking about his sin. They said, but even in this, even under these circumstances, they seem so dire, even in this, I will be confident. David, why can you have so much confidence if things are actually that way? If your sins are so great, if they are so deadly, if they are so surrounding you, how can you be confident at all?

Verse four, one thing. I recognize thing is in italics there, but I actually think that was a good thing for the translator's dad. One thing, there's one thing needful. If you remember the last time Chris Cunningham was here, he preached on this. He had a portion of his message was about this one thing needful, that's Christ. He's the one thing needle.

And what he said, I don't even think he meant to say it this way, but it was somewhat comical, but it really kind of hit home. He's like, listen, he goes, you don't necessarily have to go to work tomorrow. He's like, now, if you don't, there can be very, you know, negative cascading effects.

You know, you lose your job, you lose your house, you starve to death. But if you have Christ, actually everything's okay. You don't have to drink water, right? If you don't, you'll die. There's cascading negative effects. But if you have Christ, it's going to be just fine.

This is the one thing needful. There's just one thing needful to have him. You know, it's always one thing, one Lord. one faith, one birth. There is one acceptable man before God. Everything we have is through union with Christ. We have to understand that. But it's all singular. He does it. He earns it. He's the one who bears it. We just have it in Him. It's ours. but we have it through our union with Him. He's the acceptable man unto God, and we're acceptable because we're in Him.

There's only one sin atonement God could accept. His sin atonement, His blood, that's it. There's only one righteousness, the very righteousness of Jesus Christ. There's only one great high priest. There's only one man who can make effective intercession with His Father. That's Jesus Christ.

He's like, I've got them. I've got the one thing, the only thing you need, So I will be completely and utterly confident. And he breaks that one thing down, and he says there's really three things I want from the one thing. That's it. And here's what he has to say.

Verse four, one thing have I desired of the Lord that will I seek after, this is the first one, that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life. I think it's interesting. What he's addressing right now is what he wants God to see. This first part is what God sees. He's like, here's what I want.

I just want to dwell in the house of the Lord in Christ. That's not talking about wanting to be in church 24-7. He wants to be in Christ. What he's saying is, when the Father looks at me, all I want Him to see is His darling Son, that one that is truly acceptable unto Him, His Son, Jesus Christ.

That's all I want. I don't want Him to see my works, and I don't want Him to see my best intentions, and I don't want Him to see my motives. I don't want Him to see anything about me. I want Him to look to Him when He sees me, and all He sees is Him. I want to dwell in Christ. Is that what you want? Because this is very real. If that's all you want, if that's all your hope, you have it. You're in Christ. When the Father looks at you, all he sees is his darling son. When he looks at Christ, he sees you. That's the reality of union with Christ.

He said, this is my one desire from that I might be in Christ and found in him, not having my own righteousness, which is of the law, by the faithfulness of Jesus Christ. There's a second thing he wants. He says, "'One thing have I desired of the Lord, that will I seek after, that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord.'" Now, in the first request, he says, here's what I want God to see. It had everything to do with what God saw. He says, now, this is what I want to see. I want to see Jesus Christ for who he really is, beautiful. You want that? Why would he make that request? David, why would you say that? You want to see Jesus Christ for who he is. You want to behold the beauty of the Lord. I think it's Isaiah 53, 2.

He says, for he shall grow up before him as a tender plant and as a root out of dry ground. He hath no form nor comeliness. And when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire. When a natural man, this wicked flesh, looks at Jesus Christ, he sees no beauty, he sees no comeliness.

And you see that in society. A man can read this book, and if he's honest about what he's reading, he can intellectually understand. It's saying God's sovereign, that Jesus Christ is absolutely sovereign. And to you and I, that's beautiful. To every believer, to every sinner, that's beautiful.

It takes a sovereign God to save someone like me. To the rest of the world, they say that's cruel and that's unfair. If he's sovereign and he chooses, that means there's a whole bunch of people who probably want to be saved that won't be. And nothing could be further than the truth. The only reason anybody is saved is because God is sovereign. What about this particular redemption and this particular wrong? That's so cruel, that's so unfair. What is unfair about God not saving men who don't want to be saved by Him in the first place? Thank God He loved somebody. Thank God that He was gracious to somebody and He reached out in graciousness to us. We never would have reached out to Him.

These things that the world says, this is not comely. This is not beautiful. This is terrible. It's disgusting. We say, this is beautiful. Jesus Christ is beautiful. His gospel is beautiful. And it all comes down to this one thing, folks. It's always glory. You can just still it down always to the simplest things. It's glory. Who gets it and why? If Jesus Christ gets all the glory, that means I am exactly How these scriptures say, I am dead in trespasses and sins. I am owed nothing. And if I am saved, it is simply by the grace of God and he gets all the glory in it.

And I love it that way. And finally this, he says, I want to inquire in his temple. I'll look at that word inquire. You know what that means is simply to seek. He says, Lord, I want to seek you. Calls me to seek you. Why would he say that? Why would he want this? This is what the Lord promised in Matthew 7, verse 7.

It says, Ask, and it shall be given you. Seek, and ye shall find. Knock, and it shall be opened unto you. For everyone that asketh receiveth, and he that seeketh findeth. And to him that knocketh, it shall be opened. That's a promise. If you come seeking mercy, You're going to have it. If you come seeking to be found in Christ alone, you're going to have it. This is a promise made by a God who cannot lie.

And here David says, calls me to seek you. You give me this promise, calls me to seek you. And in this seeking, folks, really, we're seeking one thing. He addresses it down here. Look at verse 7. He says, Hear, O Lord, when I cry with my voice. What does he want? What is he crying for?

Have mercy upon me and answer me. Now, as a side note, I love that language. I love how impatiently David prays sometimes because it sounds like mine. So that's okay. If he can pray that way, so can I. Answer me. And that's not rebellious. The need is there. It's so great. What does he want? Mercy. Lord, be merciful to me. I don't deserve it. I haven't earned it. There's no reason you should give it to me in and of myself, but I need it so badly. Be merciful to me.

And you can look at the persuasion he uses in verse eight. This is why he said you should have it. When thou saidest, seek ye my face, my heart said unto thee, thy face, Lord, will I seek. This is his persuasion. Why should I have this mercy? Why should I fulfill this promise? Because Lord, you started this.

You said unto me, unto my heart, seek ye my face. I never would have if you wouldn't have come to me first. I never would have sought you if you wouldn't have come to me first. But you said to my heart, seek ye my face. And Lord, my heart cries back out unto you because it can do no other. Thy face, O Lord, will I seek. I'm begging for this mercy because you've caused me to.

And you've promised that everybody begs for it is going to get it. Now, Lord, do as you said you would do. And every time Todd says that, I feel just slightly uncomfortable, to be quite honest. But yet, that's scriptural. Lord, do as you promised. You said it in your word. You started this. I didn't. Now finish it. Finish that good work you began here. Now, confidence because of justification. Look at verse 5. It says, for in the time of trouble, that means evil, he shall hide me in his pavilion. In the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me. He shall set me upon a rock.

Now this is all talking about the cross. The day of the cross, what kind of day was that? That was a day of great love. That was a day of great power. That was a day of great mystery. It was a day of great trouble, of great evil is the word. Really in two respects. Number one, it's the day true evil was revealed. That's the day that humanity got together and killed the son of God. You want to see what we're like, you just look at the cross. We're all, I was going to say we're all capable of it. We all did it. That nature is all knit together, folks. I understand his blood is on our hands. We did it.

Evil was revealed. How bad is man? We murdered the perfect son of God. But also on that day, evil was dealt with. The evil of all the elect was dealt with on that cross. The Lord Jesus Christ bore our sins in his body on that cross. And not just our sins, folks. This thing of union, this is so real. Christ has never been anywhere without his church. When He went to that cross, He went bearing all of us in His body. He bore our sins, but He bore us. We all went with Him there. He went alone, but we went with Him in Him.

And the wrath of God came down upon Him because of those sins. And it went through Him, and it slew Him, but it never penetrated us. It never touched us. And three days later, God the Father raised Him from the dead because of this, because all the sins that He went bearing, the sins of every member of the elect, He actually put away.

And you know what that means? That means that we are truly justified before God. That means the perfect justice of God actually demands our salvation. Now, there's an accompanying scripture here. Well, actually I'll give you this. Because of that, because we have this perfect justification, the very justice of God demands our salvation, we have two blessed truths. Two blessed truths come out of that. Look at verse six. Here's the first one.

And now shall mine head be lifted up, above mine enemies round about me. Therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy. I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the Lord. Here's the first blessed truth of justification, the first blessed truth of the cross.

There are no more sacrifices to be offered. David says, you want to offer a sacrifice? You want something to do? A sacrifice, normally something to cost you, right? That's what we think of a sacrifice. He says, you want to offer a sacrifice? You want something to do? Here's what you do. Here's your sacrifice. Start singing. Start dancing. Start rejoicing.

Give praise unto God for this reason that there's nothing left to do, that there are no sacrifices left to offer. There's absolutely nothing you need to do. Don't do a thing. Just simply rest. Trust the Lord Jesus Christ. Sing his praises in gratefulness because it all truly has been finished. If your hope's all in Christ, understand this, there's no sacrifices to offer. He won't accept any. There's none you can offer anyways. It's all been completed. Now just dance. Just joy. Sing praises unto the Lord. That's all we got left. That's it. And here's the second blessed truth. This perfect standing we have before the Father, it can't change.

Look here in verse nine. He says, hide not thy face far from me. Put not thy servant away in anger. Thou has been my help, leave me not, neither forsake me. Oh God of my salvation, when my father and my mother forsake me, then the Lord will take me up. Now, here's another illustration he's gonna give us. And I like this one, this speaks to me very much.

He says, what's the strongest relationship you can rely on as far as men go in this life? If you think of a relationship where somebody's gonna be faithful to somebody else, they're gonna do what they're supposed to do, what relationship do we have? The parent to the child. It's the strongest one we know of, right?

If you think about a parent, nine times out of ten, you figure that parent is never going to leave that child, that parent's never going to forsake that child. You can count on that relationship, right? Well, just read the newspaper, you'll find out you can't. And we see it every single day, parents leaving their children, parents forsaking their children, parents neglecting their children.

And that's the best we've got. As far as faithfulness, that's the strongest bond we can come up with. Parent to child, and it fails, and it fails, and it fails. But this relationship, this bond between the Lord and His people and His church, it is infinitely stronger. It cannot be broken. He says, I will never leave you, and I will never forsake you. But that's not open.

It's not just, that's a nice thing to say. I'll never leave you, and I'll never forsake you, because I left Him. because I forsook him, because I left my only begotten son to die on that cross, because I forsook him on that cross. Remember, this is all just. This is all justification. I left him. I forsook him. He suffered. Therefore, you can't be left. I can't forsake you because I can't punish somebody twice for the same sin. We can't mess this up. The very justice of God demands our salvation. Let's look how he ends it. Verse 14.

David says, wait on the Lord. Be of good courage and he shall strengthen thine heart. Wait, I say, on the Lord. David says, in the light of everything I've said up to this point, that if you're a believer, the Lord is your light, and He's your salvation, and He's the strength of your life, that He is the one thing needful which you have, because everything that is going on in this life, this dark alleyway we're gonna walk through, there's gonna be sufficient grace for the whole thing, since you know all the way to the end, you can see all the way to the end of things, and you know how it ends, and everything's going to be perfect, it's going to be beautiful, you're going to be saved, you have been saved, Christ is victorious, knowing all that, great. What about right now? What am I supposed to do right now? Wait on the Lord. Wait on the Lord. You know how the story ends. I'll tell you what, it becomes a whole lot easier to wait when you know how things end. All right, hope the Lord bless that.
