"Love The LORD, all His saints! The LORD preserves the faithful, but the proud He pays back in full. Be strong and take heart, all you who hope in The LORD." Psalms 31:23-24 (NIV)
King David exhorted the people of God to love The Lord God, to keep the faith, and to be strong. He encouraged them to hold on, and not to give up. He said that The Lord God would preserve them if they just kept their faith in Him.
The Word of God offers believers the assurance that The Lord God will keep the faithful, those who have faith and hope in Him, safe from hurt, harm, and danger. He has always kept His promises in the past, and He will continue to do so. (Deuteronomy 7:9) As believers we should be strong in our faith in God and be of good courage because we have good reason to do so. He has great goodness stored up and waiting for us. (Psalms 31:19) He will protect us and keep us safe from the evil that men have planned for us. (Psalms 31:20) He has already blessed us with numerous acts of His kindness. (Psalms 31:21) The Lord God hears and answers our prayers. (Psalms 31:22) He has promised that if we are faithful, He will preserve, protect, and keep us. (Psalms 31:23) He will strengthen our mind, body, and spirit, as long as we continue to have faith and hope in Him. (Psalms 31:24) Who wouldn't love a God like Him, He gave His only son to die and pay the price for our sins so that we could be saved. (John 3:16) Love The Lord, keep your faith and hope in Him strong. Don't give up, whatever happens, hold on, keep the faith, better days are coming, God is in control.
